Nigerian Douye Nomayo has received the prize for best overall performance in the School of Health & Psychological Sciences at City, University of London.
The Medical doctor who graduated with a distinction received the prize after obtaining a Masters degree in Health Policy from City, University of London.
Before migrating to the United Kingdom, UK, Nomayo worked at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, for nine years.
Nomayo in a press statement said she decided to pursue a second degree in Health Policy because of her interest in public service.
“During my time spent working in the hospital, I saw the suffering people went through to access healthcare, due to high cost or unavailability.
“I realised that healthcare practitioners must get more involved in politics in order to get problems in the health sector on the political agenda quickly. I set out to understand the financial and political aspects of policy-making in healthcare and learnt how to formulate, evaluate and improve on existing policies.
“Several countries have gone through health system reforms and their experiences can be leveraged upon to produce changes that will be financially feasible and acceptable to both healthcare providers and the Nigerian population,” she said.
