What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in healthcare, promotes teamwork, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated medical doctor with a strong foundation in the intricacies of the health industry in Nigeria. My journey began with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from Kharkiv National Medical University, where I honed my clinical skills and developed a passion for improving population health through innovative technology and adequate financing. My experience spans various roles, including medical officer, case manager assistant, and investment analyst intern, where I have consistently aimed to bridge the gap between healthcare and technology.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in daily patient assessments, mentoring newly employed house officers, and conducting investigations into fraud, waste, and abuse within health management organizations. My role as a Senior Case Manager and Clinical Care Coordinator at Reliance Health has allowed me to utilize data analytical tools to identify high-probability cases of fraud and manage logs for mortality and morbidity cases effectively. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, currently pursuing a Master's in International Public Health.
