What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can strengthen records accuracy and data quality, support secure documentation and health information flows, and grow toward epidemiology—where performance, learning, and community health impact matter.

I’m an upfront and self-motivated health records and information technology professional working to improve organizations’ performance through value-adding recommendations, skills, and innovative ideas. I aim to advance my career into becoming an epidemiologist to help communities identify, tackle, and combat emerging and information diseases.

As a Records Management Assistant, I focus on receiving, sorting, recording, and dispatch of mails, maintaining appropriate filing with strong security of information and documents, and performing data entry. I also support processing of PCandidates Examination Materials for industrial based examination centres and evaluation of capacity.

Across hospital roles, I handled NHIF preauthorization by scanning and sending online approvals for surgical procedures, oncology, MRIs, CT scans, dental, optical, dialysis, and ultrasound, ensuring completeness of forms and attached documents. I’ve also contributed to outpatient and inpatient duties, transitioned facilities from paper records to EMR (Electronic Medical Records), and supported health-statistics insights through data analysis.
