My Work in Action
 

💻 Digital Health Transformation Across Ten Nigeria States (Supported Implementation in Ghana, Kenya & Pakistan)

Over the past five years, I have contributed to large-scale health system digitization initiatives across several Nigerian states. In the last two years, I have taken the lead role in these efforts, driving digitization projects across FCT, Kaduna, and Niger States. Through these initiatives, we successfully digitized more than 500 primary healthcare clinics and trained over 13,000 health workers, strengthening data reporting, patient management, and accountability across public health systems.

💉 Immunization Experiment - I led a digital transformation experiment that boosted immunization data capture from 2% to over 700%, achieving 62% alignment with the state’s DHIS system Niger State, Nigeria. Through process redesign and government collaboration, the project improved data accuracy and workflow efficiency across multiple facilities In 6 LGA in Niger state.

🤰 Safe Mama Project Pilot - Maternal Health Digital Initiative Designed and deployed a community-led maternal health intervention using digital tools and incentives to encourage antenatal visits and early registration. This project improved ANC attendance rates and enhanced maternal care monitoring within participating PHCs.
