National Health Fellow / Public Health Program Officer

I serve as a fiduciary agent monitoring the performance of primary healthcare centres, including financial inflows, essential medicine availability, infrastructure, and daily facility operations supported by the Basic Health Care Provision Fund.

I support State and Local Governments in implementing national health policies, reducing process bottlenecks, training and mentoring health workers, and improving service delivery. I also engage local communities to promote transparency, accountability, immunisation, maternal health, and child health services while acting as a liaison between communities and health authorities.
