I am a Burundian public health physician, academic, and researcher with more than 15 years of experience in health systems across Burundi, East Africa, and Central Africa. My work focuses on public health, nutrition, health systems strengthening, monitoring and evaluation, human resources for health, field epidemiology, and reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health.

I hold a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Burundi (2006) and a Master of Public Health from the Université libre de Bruxelles (2011). I am currently completing my doctoral training in Clinical Epidemiology at Makerere University College of Health Sciences.

My professional journey spans the different levels of Burundi’s health system—from the peripheral level, where I worked as a physician consultant at the Kamenge Neuropsychiatric Center and Rushubi District Hospital, to the provincial level, where I served as Provincial Medical Officer for Bujumbura, and the central level, where I successively served as Deputy Director of the National Integrated Food and Nutrition Program (PRONIANUT) and Director of the National Integrated Malaria Control Program (PNILP).

Over the years, I have contributed to the design, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of health and nutrition programs in Burundi and the wider region. I have particular experience in health systems strengthening, human resources for health, public health nutrition, food security, and multisectoral approaches to health and nutrition. I also served as the National REACH Facilitator.

As an academic and researcher, I am committed to developing the next generation of health professionals, generating and translating evidence into practice, and strengthening institutional capacity. I contribute to research, scientific publications, technical guidelines, training curricula, and capacity-building initiatives. I also serve as a peer reviewer for international indexed scientific journals.

My professional commitment is driven by a simple goal: to contribute to stronger health systems, better-quality healthcare, and improved health outcomes through evidence, innovation, capacity building, and collaboration.
