Why Innovation needs to continue…. Especially now.

These are scary times and I’m personally scared. I’m not a doctor and will not be providing any health advise here, there are much better sources like the WHO and the CDC. What many of us in the healthcare industry need to focus on is the continuation of our work. Yes, we have to be careful and [...]

TEDx Speaker Experience – with overview video and pictures

Helping women have access to quality healthcare is my passion and my life’s mission. I also recognize that the current method which most people give to charity is through an outdated and not-as-impactful-as-it-could-be model of philanthropy. And it all started from a conversation in a bar! On September 28th 2019, I had the supreme honor to deliver [...]

Global Health Innovation Senior Executive program

Several weeks ago, I participated in the inaugural session of the Senior Executive Program in Global Health Innovation Management (SEP-GHIM). It was eye opening to see the impact so many other executives are having around the world focused on global health and an honor to be included. I loved learning from these incredible people, being exposed to [...]

Real Health: More Than Just a Number

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” It’s a common phrase, but something about it doesn’t sit well with me. First it makes me think, poor doctors—their presence is so unwelcome that we make up phrases about repelling them with fruit.
