Dr Udoete is a global health enthusiast with a focused interest on HIV/AIDS care services, especially among resource-challenged and underserved communities.

She previously worked with a USAID funded Non-profit organization, FHI360 whose goal is to assist the Government of Nigeria to enhance sustained cross-sectional integration of HIV/AIDS services in the different high-risk states. She is very passionate about mitigating global health disparities and improving the quality of care of people living with HIV.
