What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute clinical, health-plan operations, and patient education experience in a role focused on evidence-based, patient-centred care and improved healthcare delivery.

I lead operations at Wellness HMO, reviewing and revalidating provider claims, coordinating pre-employment screenings, and working with hospitals to secure timely care for enrollees.

Previously, I managed inpatient and outpatient care at Novia Hospital across surgery, paediatrics, internal medicine and O&G. I diagnosed and treated patients, responded to emergencies, interpreted diagnostic tests, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated care.

My foundation includes housemanship at Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, community health electives, medical teaching, and outreach volunteering. I'm committed to evidence-based, patient-centred care, preventive medicine, and practical health education.
