John Robert Dugilo

I have two years of experience in internal medicine and am currently pursuing an MPhil in Nephrology. As Co-founder and Medical Advisor of the Healthier Kidney Foundation in Tanzania, I lead kidney disease awareness and prevention programs. My work includes developing evidence-based protocols, mentoring medical officers, and improving community health outcomes. I am strongly committed to research, education, and quality assurance in clinical practice. Passionate about transplantation, I aim to advance my expertise to strengthen nephrology and transplant care in Africa.
