Atlas Corps Middle East and Africa

Hello!

Thank you! When you invest in Atlas Corps, you support talented global professionals like Chris from Nigeria who just started his fellowship at Susan G. Komen.

Chris is a public health practitioner with six years of experience in community and public health and development. As a Public Health Officer with Pro-Health International Nigeria, he has contributed to strengthening the public health emergency preparedness system in three international airports and two land crossings in Nigeria. His work includes advocacy and technical assistance to the public health institution in Nigeria on Global Health Security, implementation of the International Health Regulations at the points of entry and prevention, detection and response to disease outbreaks within the country. Prior to taking on the role of Public Health Officer, he worked as a Program Officer where he designed, planned and coordinated medical interventions in rural communities in 20 states across Nigeria. As a medical laboratory scientist, he worked with a USAID-funded hospital in the treatment, management and care of rural dwellers living with HIV/AIDs and Tuberculosis. Through these experiences, he has developed strong capacity building, leadership development, fundraising and project management skills. Chris has a deep-seated interest in community health and social empowerment.

In his Fellow role at Susan G Komen, Chris will be the Breast Cancer Fellow. Chris will provide support to Komen’s Global and National Capital Region (NCR) Programs. This includes assisting with the maintenance of a website for the NCR Program and developing an external communication plan.

Thank you for supporting Chris and our growing community of more than 700 Fellows from 93 countries!

Here's to a great 2019-
