ACCRA, GHANA

Summary

I am a dedicated and experienced midwife with over 14 years of expertise in Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) services. With a solid academic foundation in midwifery and hands-on experience in both clinical and community settings, I have contributed significantly to maternal and child health initiatives. My roles within the Ghana Health Service (GHS), supported by projects like GHS/JICA and USAID/JHPIEGO, have honed my leadership in technical training, supportive supervision, data management, and technical report writing. I bring excellent skills in community mobilization, social behavior change communication (SBCC), and quality improvement to all health services I lead.
