Policy & Consultancy
I believe that understanding country contexts and reflecting those in global health policy is paramount to the success of health policies. Hence, through my consultancy work with the World Health Organization, I have worked with numerous countries such as Indonesia, Ethiopia, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Mozambique, Zambia, Guyana, etc. I had the pleasure to exchange knowledge with experts from these countries, and to take those learnings to the development of various methodologies in the field universal health coverage, specifically primary health care and immunization.
