Summary

With over eight years of experience in both public health and clinical medicine, I hold a medical license and practice within both Francophone and Anglophone healthcare systems. My professional credentials include registration with the health professional councils of both Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In my current role, I serve as a general practitioner at MultiCare Hospital and South Point Hospital. My expertise extends to mentoring in patient management for HIV, HCV, HBV, as well as Tuberculosis (TB) care. My comprehensive knowledge spans across the health system, primary healthcare, general surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecological obstetrics, and BeMOC (basic emergency obstetric and neonatal care). I am capable at leading a diverse team of medical and paramedical staff, delivering educational training sessions, and I am consistently prepared to confront new challenges that not only enhance patient care across Africa and internationally but also foster my own personal and professional advancement.
