About
I have a wealth of experience in Midwifery, Mental health Nursing, and Reproductive health, Having worked under the ministry of health for over 20 years at different levels of responsibility in various health facilities within the country. In most of the places I served in leadership levels/ I worked in Machakos hospital as an operating Theatre Unit in charge ; Kathiani and Pumwani Maternity hospital as Labour ward in-charge during which there was significant reduction in number of maternal deaths as evidenced by hospital records at the time.; I pioneered the opening of a psychiatric unit at Malindi hospital, which remains operational to-date. When I went to Pumwani Maternity Hospital and found their operating theatre didn’t have theatre trained nurses I advocated for and championed for a theatre training induction course for 23 Nurses in collaboration with Kenyatta National Hospital.
This improved the quality of delivery outcomes for mothers undergoing caesarian sections in the hospital theatres, to-date. I worked as tutor in the school of Nursing and midwifery; I was a team player in curriculum development, and thereafter in many other forums like the development of the Kenya Costed Family planning Implementation Plan (CIP); I have worked as a part time lecturer at The Agha Khan University and Amref International University, among others .I been an active participant in voluntary medical camps in several parts of the country. When I was the Nairobi County Reproductive health trainer, in collaboration with the National office of maternal child health I was and still am, one of the master trainers in Maternal Child Health (MNH) components Nationally. I have been able together with others to do capacity building trainings in MNH in most of the counties in Kenya, sometimes as the team lead
