Because of a vast work experience and a broad interest I work in different fields. From policy and strategy development to management and team building, from research to practical implementation in disasters, from practical medical work to developing national guidelines in infectious disease control. From programme development to monitoring and coaching in the field.
In different parts of the world often unexpectedly disasters hit countries or better to say: hit people. Getting a coordinated response in place to help these people is crucial in saving lives and in recovery societies, where people can live a life in dignity. Working with technical expertise and an involved heart. Whether this is on medical aid, water and sanitation or disaster risk reduction does not matter.
Developmental aid is a total other type of “business” compared with humanitarian aid. The processes take far more time. More patience is needed. Due to a long experience in different branches of developmental aid the exact content of the programme is not that important. Knowing underlying dynamics in transition periods, managing teams, etc.etc. it is possible to manage many different types of developmental projects. Also the linkage between humanitarian aid and developmental aid has its own dynamics and is very important and interesting. Always having the local population in the lead.
Working as medical doctor remains to be a pleasure. Whether this is working from a distance in helping people worldwide to get the appropriate care they need and to repatriate them to their home country or in rewriting national guidelines on infectious disease or in working as MD in infectious disease control or doing consultations in a general practise.
