NAYITURIKI Japhet
@nayiturikijaphet
I lead humanitarian medical, nutrition, surgery, and outbreak-response programs across Africa.
What I'm looking for
I've led medical and nutrition operations with MSF across Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Nigeria, South Sudan, and other emergency settings, coordinating clinical care, outbreaks, pharmacy, medevac, and public-health strategy.
In recent MSF nutrition and hospital-support roles, I reduced ITFC mortality from 6.2% to 2.3%, reduced pediatric ward mortality from 12% to 2.5% in three months, and helped reduce MAS/MAM and neonatal mortality from 17% to 6%. I work closely with Ministries of Health, UNICEF, WHO, WFP, and multidisciplinary teams to turn data into practical, quality-focused care.
I'm also a general surgery specialist, public-health practitioner, telemedicine consultant, trainer, and safeguarding investigator. I build capable teams through mentoring, clinical governance, emergency planning, and evidence-based systems strengthening.
