“As an awardee of Epi-fellowship, I am keen to do research on the policy gaps in the context of prevention and control of infections. My studies will enable me to gain skills that can improve community participation in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Additionally, I got the opportunity to experience regional interactions with fellows, in particular, expanding my scientific perspective that is critical to my skills and knowledge of developing research questions. The environment is necessary for my career growth and goals.”
