Abdalla is the Program Manager of Safari Doctors, an initiative providing healthcare solutions to marginalized communities in Kenya. Her organization focuses on delivering vital medical services to remote and underserved populations through innovative approaches, like mobile clinics, to improve maternal, child health, and overall well-being in the region.
She has been with Safari Doctors since its inception in 2014, playing a pivotal role in scaling operations, expanding outreach, and strengthening internal capacities. Abdalla’s leadership is marked by her strategic management and dedication to improving access to healthcare for communities that lack essential services.
