In addition to his certification in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, he holds a European MSc in International Health (study track: Health Research Methods). He is a Technical Committee member of the ongoing 2012 National HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Survey (NARHS PLUS) of Nigeria, where he contributed to the protocol design, field work supervision, and data reporting. Dr. Dim is interested in female reproductive health promotion and research, especially in the areas of cervical cancer prevention. He initiated the concept of “Provider Initiated Cervical Cancer Counselling and Testing (PICCT)” which hopes to encourage wider coverage of cervical cancer screening in settings without a national protocol. He was part of the team that identified the top five priority implementation research questions in Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) in 2011, for the WHO/Health Ministry of Nigeria. Dr. Dim has several journal publications and conference presentations to his name.
