My passion for the development of Multidisciplinary Critical Care Workforce has inspired me into many laudable initiatives. I initiated and developed the Bachelor of Nursing Sciences Degree Program at Bayero University Kano; and the Life Support Training Center at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital is my brain child.
I also Pioneered and started the SCCM Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support Course in Nigeria, at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in 2013, and this culminated into an annual Critical Care / Basic Life Support Training, in partnership with Pediatric Universal Life – Saving Effort (PULSE) Inc from New York.
I co-founded the African Sepsis Alliance in pursuit of my vision to eradicate preventable deaths due to sepsis in Nigeria and Africa. I am a Pioneer member of the Board, and the Director of Communication & Media, African Federation of Critical Care Nurses (AFCCN).
I was invited by WHO to the Technical Expert meeting on Sepsis; and WHO Technical Expert meeting on Sepsis Epidemiology Research Methodology at Geneva, Switzerland, in 2018, 2019 & 2022 to the WHO Sepsis Learning Program Pilot in Lyon, France. I am a member of several working groups: GDG on Sepsis, Oxygen Optimization Respiratory _Support, for WHO; SCCM Clinical research & Epidemiology sub-committee, Federated Platform Trial group. WG on EECC training development of curriculum & materials/resources.
I was awarded the first Global Sepsis Award (Individual Category), by the Global Sepsis Alliance in 2015. Because of my impact in public health, I was elected into the Board of the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA) in 2019, and still a member till date.
The World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN) nominated me as an Honorary Ambassador recently, May, 2020, same renewed 2022, and till date.
