Research Interests
Her research focuses on perioperative anesthesia care, hemodynamic stability, patient safety, and epidemiological surveillance in healthcare settings. She has conducted studies on preoperative preventive measures, perioperative pain management, and hemodynamic instability in surgical patients. Additionally, her work extends to public health research, particularly in malaria surveillance and epidemiological data analysis. Her goal is to contribute to evidence-based anesthesia practice and improve patient outcomes in resource-limited settings.
