Introduction: Patrick Songa, Congo-Kinshasa - Patient safety and community health in fragile and low-resource settings

26 September, 2026

Dear HIFA members,

My name is Patrick Songa, a public health professional and project manager from the Democratic Republic of Congo. My work and interests focus on public health, health systems, field research, community engagement and MEAL in resource-constrained settings.

I am particularly interested in health systems, patient safety and community health, especially in fragile and low-resource settings.

I’m very pleased to join HIFA and look forward to learning from and contributing to the community, particularly by sharing perspectives and experiences from Eastern DRC.

Best wishes,

Patrick Songa
