As a specialist in respiratory medicine with extensive clinical practice and international experience, I focus on the care of patients with complex respiratory diseases, particularly tuberculosis and HIV co-infection. Through my long-term work in humanitarian healthcare services, I strive to improve and ensure access to medical care for people in vulnerable or underserved communities.
