Professional Experience: |
I possess over 10 years of work experience at various levels as a clinician, a public health specialist, a health consultant, healthcare infrastructure consultant and as a medical manager.
I have a clear understanding of health systems in low, middle-income countries and developed countries with a good grasp of global health trends in general. After practicing medicine in various hospitals in my birth country Kenya, I went on to work as project coordinator and technical adviser on national and international healthcare projects, thus obtaining broad experience in both proposal development and the actual implementations of projects at various levels and settings in sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe.
I have extensive experience project development and management ranging from needs assessments, project design, log frame definition, budgeting, data collection, data analysis and reporting. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in monitoring and evaluation of vast range of health projects. I am able to engage and coordinate various stakeholders in the healthcare field. I work well in a team as well as individually to ensure success of the project.
