About Candidate

I am a Bachelor of Paramedic Science graduate from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology Kenya, equipped with a solid foundation in emergency medical care and patient management. During my internship at Kitale County Hospital, I honed my skills in assessing patient conditions, making accurate diagnoses in consultation with supervisors, and proactively choosing and performing the most appropriate treatment options. My hands-on experience in a high-pressure environment has refined my ability to provide immediate and effective medical care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. In my role at Kitale County Hospital, I gained expertise in various aspects of emergency medical services, including patient assessment, trauma care, advanced life support, and the administration of medications. I have developed a keen ability to remain calm under pressure, make quick and informed decisions, and communicate effectively with patients, families, and healthcare professionals. My commitment to maintaining high standards of patient care and my proficiency with medical equipment and documentation further enhance my capability as a paramedic.
