These include implementation research in the field of malaria; findings of which was used by the Federal Ministry of Health(FMoH) for policy on scaling up HMM to improve community management.Others are cancer in women, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. I support malaria control programmes as technical advisor.I was part of a team that advised FMoHin setting up cancer prevention programs and establishing palliative care services in the country. I served in the capacity of consultant to national and international agencies including FMoH, WHO, and CDC for Polio Eradication, and evaluation of maternal and child health services.I introduced patient-centered clinical method into the training curriculum and practice of Family Physicians in Nigeria and informed the re-organisation of the consultation process at the GOP.
