Summary
Having over 12 years of experience in the Healthcare and Humanitarian Sector, I look for growth opportunities that enable me contribute towards the healthcare sector. A medical doctor by profession, I found my calling working as a part of Red Cross Red Crescent Movement as program lead, and spear headed the expansion of the Pre Hospital Emergency Care project to grass root levels. Currently working in the capacity of Head of Health and Nutrition Department at Action Against Hunger (ACF), my focus is on mainstreaming nutrition and primary healthcare as sectoral targets, while integrating Mental Health components.
I enjoy leading my teams for effective and quality implementation, while developing fluid working relations in a fast paced, time sensitive and multicultural environment. Possessing excellent communication skills, with the ability to liaise effectively with multidisciplinary teams, being a quick learner and passionate about Healthcare in the region are a few of my assets.
