As a summary in HBB program till its closure, I prepared activities’ budgets, planned and conducted newborn resuscitation trainings to more than 14,000 service providers in 16 regions of Tanzania. Also successfully managed to supply HBB commodities to all health facilities in the coverage area of 16 regions. Lastly, I fully participated from point A-Z during project closure by organizing and holding that big international event. Also in the last few years, I have implemented national and local programs development on RMNCH, HIV/AIDS/STIs, human and financial resource management as well as coordinating clinical services management, Health Management Information Systems and the management of staff at different levels of Health Facilities (District, Health Centres and Dispensaries). Thus, managed to work several times at all Tanzania’s Regional hospitals, visited almost 50 percent of all district hospitals, many health centres and dispensaries countrywide. Therefore, apart from deeper exposure on RMNCH services, has wide experience and extensive knowledge of the health system in the country including the private sector. LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
