This has deepened her interest in integrating effective health policies with strong security frameworks to support sustainable peace and improve public health outcomes.

Keziah’s specific focus lies in adolescent reproductive and maternal health in conflict zones. She has led community-based public health campaigns and initiatives tackling period poverty and improving prison health. Through extensive medical outreach programmes, she has supported over 30,000 people in underserved communities.

At Oxford, Keziah aims to expand her expertise in health policy and systems thinking, and to develop innovative, community-led interventions for vulnerable populations in fragile settings.
