" Joining the Millennium Fellowship excites me as it will help me refine my leadership, collaborate globally, and contribute toward building stronger, fairer healthcare systems. I do this work because I have witnessed first-hand the inequalities in healthcare access, and I believe every individual—regardless of geography—deserves equal opportunity for health and well-being. "
