Educational/professional background

Medical Doctor

Research interests or career goals

My interests include health systems strengthening and equitable access to quality healthcare in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. I am passionate about maternal and child health and bridging the gap between health policy and implementation.

Why I chose LSHTM/my programme

I chose LSHTM for its global reputation in public health and its commitment to improving health outcomes worldwide. The MSc Health Policy, Planning and Financing, jointly delivered with LSE, provides the ideal opportunity to build on my clinical and public health experience while developing the skills to influence health policy and strengthen healthcare systems.

I am happy to share insights on transitioning from clinical medicine to public health, Chevening Scholarship applications, choosing LSHTM, and navigating life in London as an international student.
