ROYCE BANDA

I am a registered nurse with a diploma from Chipata College of Nursing and over three years of hands-on experience in HIV/AIDS prevention, sexual and reproductive health, mental health coaching, and psychosocial counselling. I combine clinical skills with community-based outreach to support prevention, treatment initiation and follow-up.

In my current roles I work as a Facility Peer Navigator supporting ART initiation, viral load monitoring, index-case testing and tracing of LTFU clients, and as an SRH and Mental Health Coach delivering curricula, outreaches and referrals. I have trained in HIV testing services, youth SRH, psychosocial counselling and Smart-care Pro.

I am results-focused, a collaborative team player, and recognized for practical excellence (graduated best student in practical, 2023). I hold active registration with the Nurses and Midwives Council of Zambia and seek opportunities to improve patient outcomes through integrated clinical and community interventions.
