Speaker: Mrs Wahyuni Lamma
I’m a medical doctor with a Ph.D. in epidemiology and experience in public health research. I’ve been involved in academic work that required careful literature searching and data analysis, and I understand how important it is to find reliable evidence to support clinical practice. I’m currently learning more about information management and enjoy sharing simple, practical ways to approach research tasks. Based in Japan, I’m grateful for chances to connect with others in healthcare and contribute in small ways. I believe that continuous learning and mutual support are key to growing together in this field.
