Public health and migration health professional coordinating health assessments, vaccine services, and reliable reporting systems in Zambia.
What I'm looking for
I’m a public health and migration health professional currently working as a Health Assessment Coordinator, where I develop and implement SOPs for health assessments and plan daily activities for the health assessment team.
I coordinate client scheduling, manage inventory and documentation, oversee laboratory sample collection and result management, and collaborate with Radiology Department to ensure timely chest X-ray results. I also prepare routine reports that keep health assessment services accurate and accountable.
Alongside my IOM migration health work, I’ve strengthened supply and stock management using SOPs aligned with organizational policies, conducted monthly inventory counts, and updated the Medstock system for reliable tracking using FEFO. Earlier in my career, I served as a Registered Nurse and as a Nurse Tutor/Senior Tutor, developing lesson plans, assessing students, and reinforcing clinical and professional standards—supported by certifications including Monitoring and Evaluation, Project Management, and Data Protection.
