Introduction: Zakariya'u Dauda, Nigeria

16 March, 2022

Warm regards Madam/Sir,

I am very pleased to be part of this great organisation and delighted to be working sides with global professionals towards the ultimate motive of providing healthcare information for all.

I came to know about HIFA Forum from my mentor, a senior colleague, I look up to being like in the nearest future.

I was intrigued to find out that HIFA provides a "friendly discussion space for all those with an interest in the creation, exchange and use of relevant, practical healthcare information for the general public, health workers, researchers and policymakers."

Although the HIFA remit is global, I felt more opportune to be part of the cohort after finding out that HIFA places emphasis on low- and middle-income countries, where the needs are greatest.

I am a certified Medical laboratory technician and a phlebotomy expert. currently completing Bachelor's in Medical laboratory science at usmanu danfodiyo University and currently serving as a cowrywise campus ambassador at the same university.

I am public health research enthusiast. Specifically, I enjoy researching infectious diseases in low and middle-income countries.

During my leisure time, I design graphics, engage in storytelling and write fictional stories.

Thank you.

Zakariya'u Dauda
