BIO

I am an academic clinician with a sound understanding of clinical medicine, physiology, maternal health and epidemiology. I work mainly on the nexus between climate change and maternal and child health.

Currently my research broadly spans three areas within climate and health:

1. Direct health impacts of heat and climate change on maternal and child health

2. Direct health impacts of heat on vulnerable adult populations in West Africa

3. Development and evaluation of co-designed sustainable interventions to reduce the health risk of heat in vulnerable populations in LMICs.
