Nimco Mohamed Hassan

I am a public health specialist with two years of experience leading community outreach and epidemiological field research across Somaliland. I focus on mobilizing internally displaced populations to improve maternal and child health outcomes and advocate against female genital mutilation. By coordinating multidisciplinary field teams and securing the trust of local leadership, I bridge critical service gaps in high-need areas. I am now seeking to leverage my expertise in grassroots health education and field coordination to advance health equity and service delivery within global development initiatives.
