Isabel Nyangu
I am a leader in Global Health (Policy and Practice), impacting international health through transnational education, research-informed policy, and collaborative leadership in resource-limited settings. I have led projects in baseline assessments, monitoring and evaluation of infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, COVID-19, and Sexually transmitted infections) and health interventions (including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), sexual and gender-based violence, health nutrition, and substance abuse) among various populations groups (adolescents,, young people, vulnerable adults, and key populations). I have a strong background in providing technical assistance and consultancy support to international health organisations.
My academic practice spans 17 years of expertise in health professions education, continuous professional development, and research supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study.
