Great to see the #SierraLeone Eye Health System Assessment by @Sightsavers published: glad to have contributed. Clear shift from fragmented, partner-led delivery to a more coordinated, policy-driven system. Next step: sustainability, domestic financing & equity within UHC.

Over the past 3 months, I’ve been developing a Research & Innovation Strategy for a West African university, drawing on my UK experience and insights from friends and colleagues in #SierraLeone. Despite a MacBook crash mid-way, I’m finalising the draft and ready for next steps

Mission 300 is a bold step toward Africa’s energy and digital future. I look forward to contributing to projects that bring sustainable energy to digital transformation efforts across health, agriculture, education, and extractives, where reliable power can unlock real impact.

Great to see solar panels being installed at Torma Bum Health Facility! This initiative by @mohs_sl is a game changer for healthcare delivery. With reliable energy, health workers can provide essential services, no matter the location. A step in the right direction!

Sophie Harman’s #SickOfIt gave me a new lens to view global health challenges, especially in women’s health and population health management. A must read! My time in #SierraLeone has me thinking about how data-driven solution can tackle system weakness and improve outcomes.

In a country where blood donation is growing, I was impressed with the blood bank service of @ConnaughtSL @LifeBloodSL @josephdkoroma99 @mistakapus. Thanks for saving a colleague's life. Your service was life-saving. Hopefully, more people can donate blood to save lives.
