Combining a background in complex systems with practical work in medical management\u00a0across diverse settings, from advanced hospitals to health and humanitarian crises, I apply a universal approach to strengthening health service. I analyse how systems function under real-world constraints, identify key points for change, and create adaptable tools to improve their performance and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p
