SENIOR HIV and RH OFFICER

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees coordinates international actions to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide.

As medical doctor, since 1985 I have been working in the health sector in the field of humanitarian aid in countries in crisis situations and in the development cooperation. More than a career in an institution, my path has been marked by the professional challenge, commitment to populations in need and the projects and positions of responsibility that have brought me professional challenge and personal growth. My humanitarian journey began as a doctor in MSF (Chad and Nicaragua), following by the creation and development of MSF Spain, where in addition to the construction and institutional management, I devoted myself to the identification, formulation, monitoring and evaluation of projects in Latin America and Africa. After this intense and rich period of my life, I worked with UNHCR (Rwanda), ECHO (Cuba, Indonesia and the Philippines), Europaid (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain (Casa Asia - Barcelona), AECID (Cambodia), PAHO / WHO (Haiti), and performing independent consulting (MSF-Switzerland and IAWG Reproductive Health and HIV / AIDS). After working in Chad as "UNHCR Senior Public Health Officer", currently I am the UNHCR Senior HIV&RH Officer based in Geneva, Switzerland.
