Simamkele Mzamane

I hail from Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, South Africa, and I am 27 years old. Currently, I am pursuing my studies in Biotechnology at the Vaal University of Technology. In addition to my academic endeavors, I work with a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) where I specialize in Retention and Psychosocial Support for patients undergoing HIV and TB treatment. As a Retention Counselor, my primary objective is to ensure that patients remain engaged and committed to their healthcare programs, ultimately enhancing their overall satisfaction and health outcomes. Some of my key achievements include:

• Implementing patient engagement initiatives

• Achieving higher adherence rates to treatment

• Developing patient education programs

• Creating customized care plans tailored to individual needs

  
  

Looking ahead, my ambitions extend beyond my current role. I aspire to further my studies and acquire more skills in management and facilitation within the healthcare sector.
