Mr Moses Arinaitwe
Vector-borne and Neglected Tropical Disease Division, Ministry of Health (Uganda)
PhD student of population and ecosystems health
I am an epidemiologist with strong parasitological background and with passion for equity and equality for population health. Arinaitwe has been involved in both implementation and operational research targeting Neglected tropical diseases control and elimination.
I am a dynamic individual with excellent organizational, team work and communication skills. I have a wealth of experience in implementing control programs and research projects having been a Program Officer with Bilharzia and worm control program of the ministry of health, Uganda, which has the mandate of controlling and elimination schistosomiasis.
Areas of research interest include public health approaches towards NTDS control and elimination, NTDs diagnostics, and vector ecology.
