What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and self-motivated medical social worker with a passion for providing psychosocial support to patients and their families within healthcare settings.

I pride myself on my ability to connect with patients empathetically, advocating for their needs while managing complex care plans.
Throughout my time at Gatundu Level 5 Hospital, I have honed my skills in case management and patient advocacy, coordinating discharge planning and assisting with home visits.
