Ann Njogu is a spatial data scientist and PhD researcher who leverages spatial, statistical, and machine learning approaches, along with diverse geospatial and health datasets, to address health and environmental challenges.

Her PhD research focuses on zero-dose prevalence in Kenya, with particular attention to the inequities in childhood immunisation coverage experienced by underserved populations, such as nomadic communities, and populations in remote-rural and conflict-affected areas.

Her work examines how environmental, geographic, and contextual factors influence health patterns and access to essential services. Through this interdisciplinary approach, she contributes to generating evidence that informs decision-making and supports the design of tailored interventions to strengthen health systems and advance equitable service delivery in resource-limited settings.

"Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege shaped by status, geography, or circumstance. I bridge health and spatial data to uncover and address the inequities that leave the most underserved populations behind."
