21 Dec 2021 | Prof. Agnes Binagwaho is one of the best public health leaders coming out of Africa. She speaks from the experience of being one of the key architects of Rwandans healthcare system, which is one of the most equitable health systems globally. In this podcast, she shares many valuable insights that many public health leaders not just in Africa will do well to emulate. Prof. Binagwaho shares with us her reflections on whether healthcare for all is attainable, what must happen in order for it to be attained and the most critical elements to achieving it. For example, the right to information and the right to participation and how it provides ownership and empowers communities. According to Prof. Binagwaho, the right to information is as important as the right to participation. If you don't get people to participate, they do not own their health properly and if you don't inform them, they do not own it. So according to Prof. Binagwaho, educating people about their health is one of the most important roles of a leader. Tune in to watch this podcast, there is so much you can learn from this veteran of global public health, teaching the next generation of public healthcare leaders.
