I am also a good team leader with qualities for obtaining loyalty and commitment from members in order to achieve set targets. I possess strong numerical and communication skills, which allow results and goals to be attained in the shortest period of time. I am a self reliant achiever that welcomes challenges and explores new opportunities.
I have more than 15 years combined international and national experience on public health development programs, health policy formulation, public health strategy, strengthening quality healthcare within the Primary Healthcare, resource person, planning, and proposal development and grant sourcing.
I would love to bring my expertise, technical lead and enthusiasm to your growing development team, as my wonderful experience as an international public health expert and quality healthcare facilitator and evaluator at PHC level justifies my expertise for this wonderful opportunity to fit into any executive role in any programme or international organization.
I am one of the invited Consultants on the non – state actor consultation on the Global Action Plan (GAP) for Healthy Lives and well – being for all, in UNICEF House New York, organized by WHO and UNAIDS. The consultation is focused on: Accelerator 3 on community and civil society engagement; Accelerator 4 on the determinants of health; Accelerator 2 on primary health care.
I have attended various universal lectures and have also appeared as a resource person on several international and National television talk show/programmes on policy design on Health sector reform and on public health development programmes, especially on infectious diseases ravaging our population, such as COVID 19 vaccination, the new Malaria vaccine, youth policies and programs on HIV/AIDS prevention campaign (links on YouTube/Eloke Onyebuchi). I have also conducted several seminars and workshop colloquium on healthcare management programmes as a resource person, where I provided the technical lead on policies and program design across the board.
Also, as an author of many International journals and National newspaper published work, I have undertaken some type of advocacy campaigns over the past years, ranging from advocacy campaign to the United Nations Secretary General in 2013 to targeted interventions aimed at improving the quality health of the population to radical restructuring of the entire syringe needle disposable approach within the primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare level.

This collective international experience has demonstrated that reform is technically difficult and complex to implement, hence the need for active partnership between actors for even management of emerging constraints. An effective partnership between actors on advocacy in health reform leads to a well-planned and carefully thought - out advocacy strategy that maximizes efforts to shape the policy debate surrounding health reform; build support and minimize oppositions to health reform initiatives; and motivate actions.
Considering many years of my technical and practical lead in program health design, Polio immunization Local Government facilitator in a USAID/NPHCDA funded project, Research technical officer in a world bank assisted project on HIV/AIDS and a healthcare management consultant, i have decided to live my dream of reducing the complex health issues at the general populations through championing of cost effective life saving health policies and strategies at the international, national and local level.
Final Thoughts:
Onyebuchi Eloke (Often cited as Eloke Onyebuchi), emerges as a dedicated Quality healthcare and public health advocate and Global health strategist, who has utilized both scholarly writing and public engagement, including traditional and social media to foster health equity among the population, especially young people/adolescents and tackle endemic threats like polio, malaria, COVID19, and HIV/AIDS. His focus on e-health and peer networks aligns well with modern, tech-driven health strategies.
Thank you.
