About Esther T.
Physician and public health leader with over 20 years of international experience, currently serving as Acting Medical Director of the UN Division of Healthcare Management and Occupational Safety and Health (DHMOSH). Trained at Harvard, University College London (UCL), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), I have built my career at the intersection of medicine, policy, and systems reform. My experience spans epidemic response in West Africa, global coordination of COVID-19 operations, and advisory work in the UN Secretary-General’s office. I now lead efforts to restructure and stabilize a large, fragmented health division, restoring governance, workforce integrity, and clinical standards. I am committed to building strong, transparent systems that reduce waste, prevent abuse, and improve health outcomes — particularly for communities in low-resource countries affected by conflict and crisis.
