We achieved a 25% increase in monthly revenue at Bugema University Hospital. This goal was reached by allowing 30% credit services and employing a friendly credit collection methodology that led to an increase in daily transactions and, finally, a 25% increase in monthly revenue.
Invented a departmental internal control system at the hospital. This was achieved by drafting drug requisition notes, issue notes, charge sheets, invoices, stock cards, daily stock balancing at the outpatient department, and applying the first-in, first-out stock valuation method that reduced expiry levels of inventory.
I have achieved 7 years of consistent service with my current employer. I have reached this milestone through applying professionalism, honesty, flexibility to change, teamwork, effective communication, attention to detail, and the ability to hit deadlines under pressure, all of which have helped me grow in my career in terms of skills and personal development.
