Felix Murira

Program Manager, currently working in Kenya

Felix is a seasoned Public Health Specialist and team leader with 11 years of experience in leading bold, innovative, gender-responsive, multi-pronged and results-based programs on reproductive health and rights at service delivery and policy level. He is well versed in institutional capacity strengthening, technical support to government and partnerships building. Felix holds a Bachelor of Science degree in public health (Hons), a diploma in psychology and awaiting graduation with Master of Science in epidemiology.

At ThinkWell, Felix works as a Senior Program Analyst supporting Strategic Purchasing for Primary Health Care at Makueni County as an important catalytic tool to achieve universal health coverage.

Lack of access to primary health care is the single most important barrier to achieving progress in reducing maternal mortality, neonatal and under-five mortality that remain unacceptably high in Kenya. I joined ThinkWell to make a contribution in ensuring pooled health resources are prudently utilized to close the gap of access! It gives me satisfaction to know my contribution will go a long way in saving lives for mothers and their children as well adolescents and young people.
