15 years running national HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis programmes across Nigeria. I use AI to build the dashboards, automations and decision tools those programmes needed and never got.
I work at the intersection of public health policy, programme implementation, quality improvement and digital innovation. As Country Lead for PATA’s HIVE Nigeria programme, supported by the Gates Foundation, I coordinate national and subnational efforts to strengthen triple elimination of HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis across 20 health care facilities in Adamawa and Delta States.
I now combine this public health experience with AI, automation and digital product development to build tools that reduce administrative burden, identify service delivery gaps and support faster, evidence informed decisions.
MBChB, MPH. Recipient of the CQUIN Advances in Monitoring and Evaluation of Differentiated Service Delivery Award, Johannesburg, 2024. Contributor to Nigeria's 2024 National Guidelines for HIV Prevention, Treatment and Care, the WHO and UNAIDS global report on accelerating differentiated HIV testing and treatment delivery, and the Operational Manual for HIV Service Integration in Nigeria. Led the national pilot of the HIV Vertical Transmission Elimination Capability Maturity Model, since adopted in eight countries across Africa and Asia.

Turning programme performance data into decisions
The problem
Antenatal services are frequently fragmented, forcing pregnant women to navigate separate services for HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis, PrEP and other health needs.
A practical framework for designing more integrated antenatal services. It helps teams map patient journeys, identify missed opportunities, select integration priorities and monitor implementation.
The problem
Health facilities lack a consistent and efficient way to determine whether their PMTCT systems are ready for triple elimination of HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis.
A digital facility assessment tool that scores readiness, identifies gaps and classifies facilities as Ready, Partially Ready or Priority Support Required. It can automatically generate recommended corrective actions and escalate urgent gaps for human review.
The problem
Programme teams often collect assessment findings manually without converting them quickly into prioritised improvement plans.
A structured toolkit that evaluates PMTCT performance across testing, treatment, viral load monitoring, early infant diagnosis, retention, commodities, data systems and community linkages. Results are converted into maturity scores and facility level action plans.
The Triple Elimination of HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis Readiness (TER) tool helps health programmes answer one question: which facilities are struggling to prevent mother to child transmission, what exactly is going wrong, and what should they fix first. A facility completes a simple digital assessment and the system does the rest.
Facility submits assessment
System validates responses
Readiness score calculated
Priority gaps identified
Action plan generated
High risk issues routed for review
Continue monitoring
Some gaps need attention
Important gaps need human or programme review
Instead of visiting 100 facilities or reading 100 reports, a programme manager sees which facilities need attention first and why. Built for Ministries of Health, implementing partners and donors: not another checklist, but a decision support and accountability system for triple elimination of HIV, Hepatitis B and Syphilis.
Time saved
Designed to reduce manual scoring, report drafting and follow up administration.
