What I'm looking for

My expertise spans WASH/NTD, sanitation and hygiene promotion, and primary health care.

Currently, I serve as the Deputy Director of the Primary Health Care Unit at Negele Arsi Woreda Gembelto Health Center, where I lead initiatives to improve health outcomes in the community. My previous roles include serving as the WASH/NTD focal person and clinician, where I coordinated health extension workers and managed monitoring and evaluation efforts.
