Public Health in Africa - Reclaiming the Narrative from the Diaspora
As a Sierra Leonean in the diaspora, I have always been passionate about improving health systems in Sierra Leone and the African continent at large. I hope to create a space to discuss public health issues on the continent while also shining a light on locally driven solutions and also share my experience navigating the public health field as a young professional. Views expressed are mine and not organizations that I am affiliated with.
