About Me

I am a dedicated Medical Doctor with a Master's in Public Health, driven by a passion for advancing global health and medical education.

This leadership experience, combined with my medical internships at Mulago National Referral Hospital, and electives at Charité, and Dokkyo Medical University, underscores my holistic approach to healthcare and my commitment to making a tangible difference.
