I am a medical commodities and public health pharmacist ensuring reliable medicine supply and rational use.
What I'm looking for
I’m a medical commodities and public health pharmacist focused on making essential medicines available, traceable, and used rationally. I bring hands-on pharmacy leadership across humanitarian and public-health contexts, from forecasting and procurement support to inventory, storage, and distribution.
In my current role as Officer, Mission Medical Commodities, I assist the mission medical commodities manager with distributing and tracking pharmaceuticals and other medical commodities at supported health facilities. I review and update monthly distribution plans, prepare shipment documents, compile weekly and monthly commodities distribution reports, and coordinate with warehouse and logistics teams to ensure accurate documentation and timely deliveries.
Previously, as a Pharmacy Advisor (Medicines Du Monde), I managed pharmacy/medical stock setups and ensured timely supply from central pharmacy to project health facilities. I supported procurement planning using consumption data, ensured DRAP-compliant storage and waste management (including cold chain and GSP), analyzed prescriptions using WHO/INRUD core drug use indicators, and delivered capacity building on SRHR, infection prevention and control, and pharmaceutical management.
My experience also includes serving as a Public Health Pharmacist at WHO, supporting essential medicines and medical supplies tracking, facility assessments for infection prevention and control, and strengthening supply chain practices using evidence-based quantification. Across roles, I coach teams through training and on-the-job support, investigate medicine-related incidents (e.g., batch recalls/quarantine), and work closely with local authorities, NGOs, and stakeholders to close access and quality gaps.
