There, he worked as a treating physician in a pediatric unit focusing on malaria and malnutrition management. In January 2021, he joined the Epicentre team. Initially, he served as the site physician for a study on preventing COVID-19 with chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine in healthcare settings.

Currently, Dr. Abdoul Moumouni serves as the field principal investigator for a large-scale clinical research study. This study assesses the “Diagnostic performance and feasibility of two new therapeutic decision-making algorithms for pulmonary tuberculosis in children suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Madarounfa, Niger.”
