Public Health practitioner, Health Consultant & Dvt Practitioner, PhD in Public Health (Candidate), Adjunct Lecturer @Chevening Alumni, Baba T. Views are mine!
@nickmangwana There should be ceiling for tariffs for procedures and consultations. Allowing health costs to he regulated by market forces is not sustainable and has negative effects on members. Ministry of Health lacks capacity to regulate, is also conflicted due to doctors involved
@nickmangwana The Act and SI should address both the MAS and Service providers side. Some charges are ridiculous and health is not like other commodities that a person can forgo if its too expensive or post pone to another day. Health is life and death!. Catastrophic health expenditure
@nickmangwana This is just one measure but more needs to be done. The move was to ensure access to services because the cost of health services and procedures is high such that it drives premiums high for members. Some hospitals and health facilities are also running so called Internal funds
✨ Recognition through the Africa Evidence Leadership Award (AELA) doesn't just celebrate achievement; it sparks growth, amplifies advocacy, and inspires new leaders.
For @Enomark1979, winner of #AELA2024 in the Evidence Use category, the award became a launchpad for impact. As Programme Manager at @PangaeaZimbabwe, his evidence-informed approach sharpened from donor reporting to research dissemination, leading to high-quality abstracts at INTEREST (Namibia, 2025) and ICASA (Accra, 2025), with more to come at AMREF Primary Health Congress (Kenya, 2026) and DSA Conference (Dublin, 2026).
A standout milestone: piloting the Boost digital health app with community health workers, expanding adolescent health education and improving client screening results showcased internationally. He also drove the external evaluation of PZ’s Wild4Life programme.
Since the award, Enock’s profile has soared: earning the HiFA Country Rep of the Year (2024–25) and the Zimbabwe Achievers Global Award (2025), alongside appointments to global health bodies including the ASTMH Committee on Global Health, the Climate Sensitive Infectious Diseases Network, and the Royal Society for Public Health (UK).
Beyond accolades, he mentors as an LSHTM Alumni Ambassador, reviews abstracts for ICASA 2025, and serves as a manuscript reviewer in maternal and child health and AIDS.
Enock’s journey shows how recognition fuels ripple effects, strengthening evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) and inspiring leadership across Africa.

🌟 From Evidence to Impact: Enock Musungwini’s Leadership Journey
Recognition matters. Spotlighting #AELA winners shows how Africa’s evidence ecosystem is quietly, relationally, creatively transforming.

Since then, he’s advanced #EIDM and public health through the following:

✨ Piloting the Digital Boost Health App in Zimbabwe, shared globally.
✨ Presenting 6 abstracts/papers at major conferences (INTEREST, ICASA).

🌍 Stories of Impact: Celebrating Evidence Leadership Across Africa
Through the Africa Evidence Leadership Award (AELA) campaign, we amplified 9 powerful stories from our 18 winners, spotlighting their journeys in advancing evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM).
📹 From written reflections to video messages, these contributions reached and inspired our community, sparking dialogue on leadership, collaboration, and impact.
While not all winners participated, the campaign highlighted the importance of storytelling in celebrating evidence champions. Their voices now form a lasting resource for our sector.
🙏 Thank you to all who shared, engaged, and celebrated with us. Together, we continue to build a stronger evidence ecosystem across Africa.

Unlocking Africa's Potential: Enock's Experience with the AEN!
@Enomark1979 was inspired by #Evidence2023's collaborative spirit and believes Africa's future can be shaped through evidence-based decision making, inviting others to join #Evidence2025.

The #AENManifesto is more than a document; it is a vision for AEN advocating and advancing #EIDM to build the Africa that we want, grounded in the effective, equitable, and ethical use of evidence. 'It is the person who experiences the event who tells the story.' – Come and be part of AEN's #Evidence2025 to tell the story and be part of the #AfricaWeWant which #LeavesNoOneBehind!”

@healthtimeszim@PGHZIM Procurement of commodities is being done and without personnel beds and theatre's are nothing. There is nothing wrong in refurbishing these. You think nurses and doctors don't deserve that. It's your opinion. These things are being done concurrently.
@healthtimeszim@PGHZIM This is for staff and students and its necessary because staff needs time to refresh and relax. There are bars and other facilities although run down but they have been helpful. With the location and site, Its definitely meant for staff and students studying and staying there.
