Ruth Gichuru

I am a dedicated Medical Virtual Assistant with a strong healthcare background and hands-on experience in both hospital and remote medical environments. I hold a Nursing Certificate from Nairobi Women Hospital College (2022) and have worked directly with healthcare facilities including Sinai Hospital Rongai and Kikuyu Hospital, where I supported clinical teams through accurate medical documentation, patient coordination, and records management.

My professional experience includes managing Electronic Health Records (EHR/EMR), maintaining patient charts, scheduling appointments, coordinating referrals, and ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive medical information. I am highly familiar with healthcare workflows and understand the importance of accuracy, timeliness, and compliance in medical administration. I consistently follow HIPAA guidelines and best practices for handling protected health information.

Currently, I work remotely as a Medical Virtual Assistant, supporting healthcare providers with administrative and clinical support tasks. My responsibilities include updating medical records, assisting with insurance verification and billing support, preparing patient summaries, managing calendars, and handling communication with patients and medical staff. I am comfortable working independently in remote settings and managing multiple tasks efficiently without compromising quality.

In addition to medical-specific tasks, I also provide general virtual assistant services such as email management, data entry, report preparation, and workflow organization. I am tech-savvy, adaptable, and quick to learn new medical software and systems. I have experience working with commonly used EHR platforms and telehealth tools, making it easy for me to integrate into existing healthcare teams.

I am reliable, detail-oriented, and patient-focused, with a strong commitment to supporting healthcare professionals so they can focus on patient care. I am seeking long-term remote or contract opportunities as a Medical Virtual Assistant where I can add value through professionalism, accuracy, and consistent support.
