Summary

With a Doctor of Medicine degree, a Master's degree in Health Sciences Research, and a second Master's degree in Public Health specializing in Disease Control, I have acquired extensive knowledge and skills in various areas. Throughout my academic training and professional career, I have developed expertise in operational research, literature reviews, evidence-based practices, epidemiological surveillance, and response to public health emergencies. My focus is on implementing interventions that improve access to healthcare for vulnerable populations, enhance organizational performance, optimize disease control strategies, and facilitate knowledge transfer for better practices. Additionally, I am dedicated to addressing tropical diseases, sexual and reproductive health needs, and overall health inequities. With strong research skills and the ability to translate multidisciplinary insights into practical applications, I am well-prepared to make a meaningful impact in diverse contexts.
