Since 2016, I have worked with international and national counterparts for communicable diseases preparedness and response in Viet Nam as the WHO Health Emergency Lead and Communicable Diseases coordinator in the WHO Viet Nam country office. I have been working in emerging infectious diseases and public health emergency preparedness and response since 2001, when I began working with the International Red Cross in medical relief operations. I have also held roles as a medical doctor with the Japanese Red Cross Wakayama Medical Center and medical officer of the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office. I am currently involved in response and preparedness for public health emergencies and infectious diseases outbreaks including avian and pandemic influenza, dengue, Zika virus and major international natural disasters. I am a trained and practicing physician, a certified expert of infectious diseases and internal medicine by the Japanese medical board and hold a masters degree of public health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
