This passion has driven his advocacy for improved resources in district hospitals, helping to strengthen their capacity to care for vulnerable neonates. He has also championed the procurement of non-invasive ventilatory equipment in the districts where he works.  

His leadership style is restorative and solutions-focused, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, positivity and practical problem-solving. He brings a clear appreciation of organisational values and the importance of understanding context in helping to shape strategies that respond to current healthcare challenges.
