I'm back in Accra, hurray for endless summer living! Each year as the summer fades in the northeastern hemisphere, I make my way back to the equatorial region to meet the sun again and recharge my creative self. Similarly, my guest this week, one of my oldest and dearest friends, found her recharge in her relocation from the US to Nairobi, Kenya. Born and raised in New York, Dr. Michelle Donald is an experienced business-minded physician, with expertise in pediatric medicine, preventative medicine and public health, she is passionate about developing and implementing clinical programs that merge technology and healthcare delivery systems to improve health outcomes. In her last role as the Medical Director of Value Based Care at New York’s Northwell Health, she established an innovative care model utilizing healthcare analytics, payer data and strategic clinical partnerships to proactively assess and identify vulnerable populations needing medical attention. A trip to Tanzania in 2018 changed the course of her life, it was during that trip that she decided to move to East Africa and develop digital health programs expanding access to quality healthcare. In February of 2020, she resigned from Northwell to pursue her dream of democratizing healthcare for all by building an effective, affordable, digital health platform that can be used to improve care delivery across a variety of health care settings. Michelle is also seeding a social movement that she calls The Ungrind which is an outgrowth of the years-long creative evolution that continues to be her unfolding global lifestyle.

For our next two-part conversation we're discussing health policy solutions for living well in Africa with my guest, CEO and founder of Nigeria's LiveWell Initiative (LWI), Adebisi "Bisi" Bright. As a social entrepreneur in the health sector, a qualified consultant clinical pharmacist and public health practitioner, Bisi is an innovative, pragmatic and result-oriented professional helping to improve wellness with a goal to improving life expectancy and reducing health illiteracy among the people. She is engaged in doing this by adding value to the 'social space' through the nonprofit organization LiveWell Initiative LWI - a health empowerment organization which has outreached over one million Nigerians and at least 3,000 Ghanaians with free health over the past three years. Be sure to stay tuned for both parts as Bisi shares insights on their highly successful COVID-19 treatment protocol and how LWI is pioneering a volunteer centered health care system in underserved, blighted areas in Nigeria.
