Taking the Lead on Global Health - Leadership and Management in Healthcare Systems

Having the right leadership and co-creating development with people should be the best approach to achieving sustainable development. I also learned that scientific research and innovation form the bedrock of global health. Unfortunately, in Africa, where I come from, innovation seems to be missing. I believe this is the cutting edge that needs to be developed to achieve the desired health outcomes we expect. However, the Global South is making commendable progress, which complements Africa’s potential. Moreover, trust in our health systems is a crucial factor that drives global health. Trusting in our health systems, health professionals, and leadership is essential for developing sound policies, delivering quality services, and providing effective leadership. Additionally, cross-sector coordination and collaboration are vital, as the health sector alone cannot address all health-related challenges. There is a need to work closely with other sectors and agencies, an approach that has proven effective in Rwanda’s experience.
