Career plan for improving my life and my community - Chevening essay

the prospective time in Egypt

Returning to my home country will be the prospective time for me to hit the ground by applying and implementing what I have acquired and learned during my Chevening journey. So, upon returning home I will immediately seek for opportunities to join one of the UK-related NGOs that working on healthcare projects and supporting primary healthcare facilities in Egypt like MSF or Doctors without borders. Finding a role as a project coordinator in these NGOs will be invaluable exposure to have an international outlook and a wide scope for development. I strongly believe that working in such role, project coordinator, will be a good channel to practice what I have learned in my master degree in healthcare management through representing MSF on project issues towards local communities, authorities and their counterparts and towards UN agencies and other nongovernmental organizations in the project area while taking into account the goals, objectives, and strategy for the mission as a whole.

On the long-term side, I am planning to diversify my expertise and to take my career to another scope of handling health care issues and that by working as a healthcare management consultant and analyst at one of the tip-top and reputable healthcare consulting firm especially the UK-related ones to be still connected with the UK government mission and vision in Egypt to help provide Egyptians with access to more equitable, affordable and quality healthcare through not only NGOs but also the private sector and that will be aligned with Egypt's vision to achieve universal health coverage for an essential package of health services by 2030. Combining both experiences of working at NGOs organizations and management consulting firms will enable me in the future to get my dream come true by establishing and running my healthcare consulting firm to achieve the ultimate goal of my professional career by providing the healthcare stakeholders with the necessary tools and consulting services, and advising public and private healthcare companies, pharmaceutical organizations and government about their business plans, strategies and health policies.

In Egypt, there is a significant disparity between the wealthy and the have-nots. The private institutions mainly serve the well-off in the society, and this leaves little to no opportunities for access to these facilities. Among the reasons why these issues are adamant in the country is the lack of a governing principle seeking to bind the two sectors. This imbalance is the driving force that I have, my new mission that is to shape not only my life but the life of my country. Therefore once starting up my consulting firm, I will seek and seize all avenues to leveraging the created invaluable network at Chevening and post-study work at NGOs and corporate sector to improve the relationship between public and private health sectors, so as to improve the medical facilities available in the nation. I aim to find new innovative ways that will increase the allocation of medical services to those unable to acquire them due to their financial incapability.

Mohamed, this is a pretty strong essay. However, your reference to UK NGO's won't be helpful to your essay. The instruction is specifically for a UK GOVERNMENT related / sponsored project in your country. An NGO is an acronym for Non-Government Organization. The term non-government is the reason why this reference to UK cooperation will not work. Right from the start of the presentation, you should consider a UK government agency sponsored project. Refer to your current employer for more references regarding this. They should know which projects the UK government sponsors in your country, if at all, in relation to your profession. Doctors Without Borders is not a UK government sponsored medical mission so that reference isn't relevant to the expectations of the reviewer. Please find some better aligned UK government sponsored project to present in this essay in order to create a more prompt responsive presentation.

Mohammad, it's better to corelate with UK concerning issue
