Inspired by the impactful discussions led by Akhona Tshangela and Lizz Ntonjira at the COMESA Secretariat meeting on advancing women leaders in the pharmaceutical sector. As part of my engagement with WomenLift Health, my project, Advocating for More Women Representation in Medical Detailing Roles, aims to drive gender equity through advocacy, training, and policy change. Together, we’re working to create a healthcare sector that champions women’s voices and leadership. #WomenInLeadership #GlobalHealth #GenderEquity #WomenLiftHealth

Transforming Health Systems for All | Global Health Leadership | Women's & Primary Health Advocate | Public Health Specialist | Health equity and vision-driven Leader in East Africa
What does it mean to be a woman leader? In the past few months of the WomenLift Health East Africa Signature fellowship, this is a question I have dwelt in a lot. My own personal goal has been to discover and build who I am as a leader - as a woman of course, yet that is just one facet of my self, and I want to bring the best of every facet of me into my leadership. The journey of self discovery, sisterhood and safe space, coaching, and mentoring that is the WLH fellowship is helping to refine all of my thinking on that, my choices, my confidence, my contribution. Here is a short video from WLH EA journey immersion.. and a gentle flag to women leaders in healthcare in East Africa - the applications for next year's fellowship open soon so watch this space!
