  Mylan

  Sept 2014 - May 2016

  Medical Representative

  Created demand for Mylan pharma products, including medicines for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Conducted a national survey on the treatment of chronic hepatitis that revealed key gaps and specific market demands not met by national guidelines.I then collaborated with the National Organization of People Living with Hepatitis B in Uganda to advocate for the allocation of more funds to the eradication of Hepatitis, which culminated in the inclusion of Tenofovir in the essential medicine list of the Ugandan Ministry of Health. This medicine is now procured and made available to patients free of cost in several regional referral hospitals across the country. Show less

  Cipla

  May 2016 - Jul 2021

  I pioneered the launch of Cipla's product portfolio in the Eastern and Northern Ugandan region, which created a firm foundation for Cipla's respiratory, hepatitis, and anti-infective products throughout the region.I also executed numerous Continuing Medical Education (CMEs) for key doctors in the region, which played a significant role in improving the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and management of chronic hepatitis B, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.I empowered pharmacy dispensers in the region on good dispensing practices and knowledge around common disease conditions through conducting well-planned and designed pharmacy engagements. This improved their confidence in customer service delivery to patients, prescription filling, and managing minor disease conditions at the pharmacy level that do not require doctor consultation.
