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.

Views expressed are mine and do not represent organizations that I am affiliated with.
