Ensuring mothers and children get quality health care
My UN Volunteer journey started in June 2021, when I joined the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Malawi. As a Health Systems Specialist, I support one of the country's flagship UN joint programmes, focused on improving maternal, newborn and child health outcomes.
In this role, my responsibilities span programme management and coordination, operational guidance, partnership building and capacity building. I ensure mothers and children receive quality integrated healthcare services.
I collaborate with district health workers from community to national levels. Together, we remove hurdles hindering mothers and children from accessing quality health services. I help them plan their activities based on evidence and best practices.
