About Ana Costache
Global health leader with deep experience strengthening immunization and supply chain systems across Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.I bring a rare combination of systems-level strategy and on-the-ground implementation experience. Having worked at the lowest levels of the health system as well as in multi-country portfolio roles, I understand how policy, donor priorities, and operational realities intersect — and where they often misalign.My work focuses on translating complex technical guidance into implementable, country-owned solutions. I have led human-centered design initiatives, developed multi-country implementation roadmaps, strengthened data systems for immunization performance, and built trusted partnerships with ministries of health, donors, and implementing partners.I am particularly motivated by ensuring that strategy reflects context — and that systems improvements are both technically sound and operationally feasible.Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Romanian (native), French, with working proficiency in Spanish.
