Biography
Abraham Joseph hold a Bachelor of Science degree in statistical science from the Kano University of Science and technology,Wudil. He also worked as an adolescent mentor and a community case management worker (CCMW) in charge of some of the households of CLHIV in the ICHSSA 3 Project. He currently working with KNCV Nigeria as a Sample Movement Consultant. He plays a vital role in ensuring efficient sample coordination within healthcare workers and diagnostic sites and also contribute significantly to the timeline and accurate movement of sample to diagnostic site, supporting and ensuring the organization goals are meet.
Key Impacts
Closing the diagnostic gap: How Nigeria’s optimised sample transport networks boosted TB detection by 105%: A model for scale-up?
Optimizing sample movement logistics with trained riders and tailored incentives significantly improved TB case detection and reduced diagnostic delays in Kano State, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. This model addresses a critical health system barrier identified in the WHO’s 2023–2027 TB Strategy and Nigeria’s UHC agenda. To sustain gains, we recommend: scaling the incentive-based transport system nationally, integrating GPS tracking for real-time monitoring, and deploying decentralized molecular platforms in priority LGAs.
