Lina is a paediatrician and clinical epidemiologist with over 12 years of experience in health system strengthening, research, policy, and service delivery. She has provided technical advice on designing and implementing projects to ministries of health and local organisations in various African countries.
Lina is passionate about fighting for gender equality and addressing social injustice. Her dream is to see a world where women and children are safe, healthy, and happy. She has contributed to international policies, training curricula, and service delivery standards on violence against women and their children and has been involved in the scale-up of response services to over 120 public health facilities in Kenya.
She is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and when not busy fighting for the rights of women and children, Lina can be found travelling, reading, or cooking. She loved reading Michelle Obama’s Becoming, and her favourite dish is the Luo delicacy kuon gi rech.
