Building a theory for African Healthcare with Adebusuyi Adeyemi
This Episode shares our conversation about African healthcare with the Be About It Podcast's good Adebusuyi Adeyemi.
Ade's passion to help people in Africa led him to founding a number of projects including: The Kopfadeyemi Fellowship which helps talented healthcare professionals to transform African Healthcare systems, globalhealthjobs.com a job site for healthcare work with an international focus and a yearly Hackathon for African healthcare.
Ade told us about how he took inspiration from Batman and Hip Hop to create positive change for the underprivileged. He began focusing on African Healthcare more specifically because of the link between the development of Africa and anti Black racism across the world.
We discussed the very specific approaches that Ade used to prepare himself to have the ability to create change.
He explained the need to create an African theory for healthcare that shape what is needed to create effective healthcare services on the African continent without the need of input from charities and NGOs.
We also got the opportunity to discuss African responses to COVID 19 and the leadership that is taking place on the continent.
