I am Filmon N. Yohannes, a medical doctor from Eritrea. Over the past four years, I have dedicated my career to working in resource-limited settings in Eritrea and South Sudan. My work primarily focused on maternal and child health in a remote district of Eritrea.
Scarcity of specialists and obstetricians in remote Eritrean hospitals
“ A pivotal moment occurred when I had to operate on a mother who arrived six hours late due to treacherous roads and inadequate transportation options. ” ”
Committed to saving lives of mothers and children
My decision to pursue a Master’s degree stems from my desire to create a lasting impact as a public health professional. Upon completing my Master’s, I envision myself working in East Africa’s low-resource settings, committed to saving the lives of mothers and children. I dream of a world where every pregnant woman can deliver safely and every child has access to equitable healthcare, ensuring they grow up healthy and thriving.
