African Policy Heroes Unveiled - Adanvo Isaac Houngnigbe

'African Policy Heroes Unveiled: Young African Leaders Share Their Inspirational Stories' explores the dynamic world of leadership within various policy fields across the African continent.
Hosted by a Apiwe Hotele, fellow at the Young African Leaders Programme (YALP) of the Florence School of Transnational Governance, the series sheds light on the challenges and solutions faced by aspiring leaders in Africa starting from an encounter with their personal hero or heroine, that is, the person who has inspired them personally and professionally and guided them on their career path.
Adanvo Isaac Houngnigbe is a medical doctor and epidemologist from Benin. In his conversation with Apiwe, Isaac shares how the tragic story of his mother has influenced his path to become a doctor and work towards the improvement of medical services. He also provides insights into why he chose to engage in public policy, how health is related to other transnational issues such as climate change, and how there is a personal story behind every statistic we see.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and your on the ground insights. Your mother, Isaac, sounds like she was a real inspiration. Death in childbirth should be almost completely avoidable in the modern world. My sympathies, Doctor.
