GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a clinician and health systems specialist with over 13 years of experience in public health, clinical nursing, and quality improvement across maternal, newborn, child, adolescent, and nutrition services. I design, implement, and monitor QI interventions in low-resource settings, mentor multidisciplinary teams, and translate data into evidence-based program improvements aligned with donor M&E frameworks.
Currently a final-year PhD candidate in Public Health with an MPhil in Health Systems Research and Management, I have led research and program initiatives that validated primary care quality metrics, informed national referral reforms, and measurably increased service coverage and care access.
