Student | Part-time | GambiaMSc Sexual & Reproductive Health Policy and Programming
Educational/professional background
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in social science (development studies) from the University of Gambia and a Higher National Diploma in Public and Environmental Health at the Gambia College, School of Public Health. I am a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Research Ethics and Methodology Scholar. Since 2012, I have served in different capacities at the Ministry of Health. I am a Program Officer at the Directorate of Health Promotion and Education, Ministry of Health, The Gambia.
Research interests or career goals
I am most interested in participatory implementation research, ethics in global health, and policy analysis and advocacy for gender equity and sexual and reproductive health rights. My long-term goal is to influence SRHR policies and mentor emerging health professionals in my country and beyond.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
LSHTM’s commitment to evidence-based, right-focused programming and an interdisciplinary global network aligns with my vision for inclusive health systems. The MSC SRHPP offers the analytical depth and contextual relevance I need to evaluate SRHR policy and program across the Gambia and beyond.
