Dr NYASHA SABINA SIGAUKE

Medical Doctor & Public Health Specialist

Medical Doctor with 10 years of clinical experience and a specialist interest in Public Health. Committed to providing evidence-based solutions that improve population health and well-being and reducing health inequalities in underserved and under-represented populations such as women, and minority groups. I provide a holistic and strategic approach to health improvement drawing from my experience as a frontline clinician, combined with a nuanced understanding of governance and leadership in healthcare.

I have developed expertise in clinical functional assessment, public health strategy, and translating complex medical and scientific information for non-medical audiences. My work focuses on improving access, equity and outcomes for marginalised groups while strengthening system-level decision-making.

I am experienced in designing and implementing health needs assessments, developing interventions, and collaborating across sectors to form strategic partnerships that deliver measurable improvements in health equity and service quality.

My approach is evidence-led, patient-centred and system-aware — aiming to bridge clinical care and public health to deliver better population outcomes.
