Samantha Grace

I am a result-driven Public Health Physician with an MD and MPH and over seven years of progressive experience leading national and international tuberculosis elimination and health system strengthening initiatives. I translate policy and epidemiological evidence into actionable programmatic strategies and measurable outcomes.

At WHO–NTEP I provided statewide technical leadership, strengthened surveillance and diagnostic networks, integrated digital surveillance tools, and led preventive therapy scale-up for 124,000+ contacts, contributing to a 12% rise in TB notifications and a 48% reduction in mortality.

My background includes critical-care clinical work, NGO leadership directing community interventions across 135 underserved communities, operational research mentorship, and contributions to policy briefs and high-level program evaluations. I prioritize stakeholder coordination, resource mobilization, and evidence-driven program implementation to accelerate public health impact.
