I am a health economist with experience working with malaria control program evaluation in Tanzania (Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center) and Uganda (New Mulago Hospital), and with businesses in Ghana to collect cost data on abdominal surgery missions from the United Kingdom. I am fluent in Spanish, always with room for further develoment, but do not speak any African languages (a few words of Swahili).

A reference to my work in surgical program evaluation in Africa is below.

This website looks interesting, posted by a surgeon that offers laparoscopic abdominal surgery in Tanzania.
