What Happens When Purpose Meets Science - Dr Alice matimba

<p>What if real innovation was born from scarcity?</p><p>In this episode, Dr. Alice Matimba shares how African scientists transform limited resources into lasting impact. From public health to community leadership, her story shows that science isn’t just about data; it’s about purpose, resilience, and changing lives with what you have. Whether you’re an early-career researcher or building your independence, this conversation will help you see constraints differently, not as barriers, but as catalysts for creativity and collaboration.</p>

Why Increasing Health Budgets Won’t Fix the System - Dr Vincent Okungu -

<p>In this episode of <strong>D2AFRICA Stories</strong>, I sit down with Dr Vincent Okungu, health economist and Calestous Juma Leadership Fellow, whose work continues to shape how millions access care across Africa. Together, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: our biggest challenges are not only medical, but structural. Vincent explains why better data, courageous leadership and smarter prioritisation matter far more than simply increasing budgets. His clarity will challenge how you think about universal health coverage, equity, and Africa’s research future.</p><p>If this conversation inspires you, share it — and join our community for more leadership and scientific insights.</p>
