Sameh Eltaybani

After getting my Bachelor? s and Master? s degrees in Nursing from Egypt, I came to study at The University of Tokyo where I got my Ph.D. in Health Science and Nursing. Besides a 7-year clinical work experience in several governmental and private hospitals, I worked as a nursing educator for six years.

Research conducted at GNRC

I am working on a research project that investigates how long-term care facilities worldwide responded to COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the precedents and outcomes of this response. This research aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to countries’ , healthcare systems’ , long-term care facilities’ , and healthcare staff preparedness and response to infection outbreaks and other health-related crises.

Future outlook

I am planning to use what I have learnt to lead and collaborate in more research on vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and those in intensive care units with a particular focus on international, comparative, and cross-cultural studies.
