On the podcast “Sayin’ The Unsaid” I shared my insights on the #COVID19 response in comparison to the HIV/AIDS response. Having worked in the fight against #HIV/ #AIDS for over 30 years, I urge us to come together & learn from our mistakes. @UnitedNationsTZ #podcasts

Ultimately, investing in health is not just about funding, it’s about making smart, system-wide investments that deliver lasting impact.

But achieving this requires more than 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆. It demands 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰-𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, & 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 to avoid ineffective systems.

As we move forward, my commitment remains to strengthening leadership, advancing global and public health, and supporting systems and people to create impact that endures. Happy New Year. #UNAIDS #HealthSystems #AfricaLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment

The past year was especially meaningful with the launch of my book, shaped by decades of service across Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Dakar, the United Republic of Tanzania, and Nigeria through my work with UNAIDS.
