Back to original languageAbout Leonel Derrick
Registered nurse and public health expert specializing in epidemiology, I have solid experience in project management and health surveillance in Cameroon, particularly within leading organizations like EGPAF and the Bangue Health District. With a perfect command of the complete data cycle, I combine expertise in high-precision data entry with mastery of advanced statistical analysis tools (DHIS2, SPSS, Epi Info).
Beyond my scientific skills, I have extensive experience in administrative assistance and as a virtual assistant, ensuring optimal workflow organization, rigorous report management, and perfect mastery of the Microsoft Office suite. I have successfully led complex mass campaigns and community interventions on HIV/AIDS and malaria. As an active scientific contributor to health equity and food security issues, I combine field leadership with administrative rigor to transform evidence-based data into effective and sustainable health policies.
