What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to impact healthcare delivery positively.

I am a committed pharmacist with extensive experience in health supply chain management and pharmaceutical services. Currently, I serve as a Sub County Pharmacist at Mogotio Sub County Hospital, where I lead initiatives to ensure the effective distribution of health products and manage pharmaceutical services. My academic background includes a Master of Science in International Health Research Ethics and a Master's in Health Supply Chain Management, which have equipped me with a strong foundation in both ethical considerations and operational efficiency in healthcare.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including County Pharmacist and Acting Medical Superintendent, where I have successfully implemented health policies and coordinated healthcare services. My research endeavors, such as my current project on health supply chain performance, reflect my dedication to advancing healthcare delivery. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to improve patient outcomes and contribute to the healthcare sector's growth.
