    I am trained as a medical doctor, have a specialization in Gynecology and Obstetrics, as well as a MSc and PhD in epidemiology from LSHTM. Further, I have a MSc in International Health from Charité, Germany (TropEd).

    My career is based on a tripod of knowledge and skills: i) clinician with specialist training in gynecology &
