She also managed the HealthRemit project, a cross-border digital health financing platform enabling diaspora-funded health insurance payments, facilitated the development of a digitally enabled maternal care package for underserved communities in Lagos, and managed the USAID-funded Integrated Health Program, enhancing health facility monitoring and registration through digital platforms.

Beyond implementation, Tomiwa has played an active role within the International Association for Adolescent Health (IAAH) Emerging Professionals Network, contributing to its strategic growth and global engagement. Over four years, she has collaborated with her colleagues to strengthen the network’s digital presence and, as an Emerging Professionals Officer, she has co-led high-impact initiatives that amplify emerging professionals’ voices in research, policy, and cross-regional collaboration.

Tomiwa’s expertise spans implementing strategic digital health projects, project management, market research, stakeholder engagement, and strategic communications, underpinned by strong values of collaboration, innovation, and teamwork. She currently works with the Digital Transformations for Health Lab (DTH-Lab), a global consortium advancing value-based digital transformations for health by implementing the recommendations of The Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030, co-created with young people.
