Biography

Lucy W. Kivuti-Bitok is an Associate Professor at the Department of Nursing Sciences, University of Nairobi. Acknowledging the inroads Mathematics has gained in every discipline and the modern view of management as a system of mathematical models and processes, Prof Kivuti-Bitok obtained her PhD in Mathematical modelling (Health Systems Engineering) from the University of Nairobi and a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the University of Otago. As a post-doctoral Fellow, she extended her work on System Dynamics modelling in two projects; Health impact of Bicycling in New Zealand’s major cities and a One Health Project on antimicrobial Resistance. She obtained her Master in Health Sector Management from Roskilde University / Galilee College and BScN from the University of Nairobi.
She is an accomplished author in health systems management and practising Systems thinker and Dynamics Modelling. With over 20 years of experience as a researcher and academician, Lucy takes pride in the infinite nature and versatility of the nursing profession which enabled her to venture into the world of mathematical modelling, health systems engineering and system dynamics modelling. She is championing the application of System Dynamics modelling in UHC and SDG
