We believe that where people live should not determine whether they live or how long they live. Excessive illnesses and deaths in some areas due to infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases prove that health equity is a major issue in Africa ans many parts of the world. We are changing this sad narrative using advocacy, research and technology.At SRHIN, the community and the people are our partners in progress. I am proud of my team at Slum and Rural Health Initiative who continue to innovatively solve important health issues by creating low-cost technology solutions, listening to the communities, conducting needs assessments, building the capacity of community members and empowering the community to be part of the solution.“
