Autorenporträt

As a socio-medical researcher, Dr. Patience Akinosho shares her story from her experiences and encounters with some cogs of Africa's failing health care system. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Kean University and holds a Master of Science degree from Rutgers University School of Public Administration. She also received her master of public health in socio-medical sciences and her doctorate from the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and was the recipient of a dissertation fellowship from the International Development Research Center in Canada. Her commitment to the causes of the forgotten, particularly women, children, and the elderly, has led her to initiate and direct several public health and microfinance initiatives in Nigeria, helping to raise the health and economic standards of disenfranchised populations. Guided by her Christian beliefs, Dr. Akinosho has helped many villages in Nigeria obtain health care by sponsoring and cosponsoring free mobile medical care services in collaboration with expatriates now living in the United States, local physicians, nurses, and pharmacists.
