@nasimiyunyongesa
Compassionate Registered Nurse with 15+ years in MNCH, HIV/PMTCT, and community health care.
What I'm looking for
I am a Compassionate, dedicated, and highly experienced Registered Nurse (KRCHN) with over 15 years of clinical and public health experience across maternal and child health, HIV/PMTCT, reproductive health, immunization, mental health, and community health services. I bring strong capability in patient assessment, care planning, health education, and service delivery across diverse clinical settings, with a clear focus on patient-centered care.
In my recent roles, I lead HTS & PMTCT services by conducting HIV testing and counselling in ANC, labor/delivery, and PNC, supporting PrEP screening and linkage, and mentoring facility staff on PMTCT, FP integration, documentation, and adherence counselling. I also coordinate follow-up of mother–baby pairs, mobilize mothers for early clinic attendance, and use data reviews and dashboards to improve service delivery—building on earlier leadership in COVID-19 and routine immunization, nursing supervision, and health system operations.
