I am a Senior Lecturer, and multi-disciplinary researcher working for the College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (COMAHS), University of Sierra Leone. I have conducted research on a number of health systems issues, in line with the national needs in Sierra Leone, generating evidence to inform government policy and donor strategies for building resilient and responsive health systems, in support of achieving universal health coverage for all. I have disseminated these research findings at local and international fora and also provided technical assistance to the health systems strengthening process in Sierra Leone.
