Dr Cynthia Chaibva is a Nurse and Senior Lecturer from National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. A short introduction: I am currently a senior lecturer for Nursing and Midwifery programmes with over 40 years wealth of experience in nursing/midwifery education, practice, leadership and research. I have also been exposed to networking and interacting with a number of global nurse leaders, as well as regional and international organisations. I have held a number of key positions in nursing organisations such as ECSACON, Nursing Council and Nurses Association. I am always looking forward to participate in multidisciplinary activities aimed at taking health care to greater heights. My area of passion is Maternal, Newborn , Neonatal and Child Health inclusive of Adolescent Health.

Cynthia’s interest in AfroPHC: I would appreciate to be part of the AfroPHC multidisciplinary team and learn from experts so that as a university and the country we also initiate PHC educational programmes aimed at empowering health care workers to provide appropriate PHC services to the majority of the population groups who deserve such services.
