EP. 26 The Business of Healing: Dr. Ijele Adimora on Sub-Saharan Healthcare and the Nigerian System

Send us Fan MailDr. Ijele Adimora brings a unique mix of high-level medical training from UT Health and Johns Hopkins, alongside an MBA from Dartmouth. She brings her dual perspective as a doctor and a business strategist to discuss low-cost healthcare options in systems like Sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing from her time on the ground in Nepal, Tanzania, and South Africa , as well as her interest in interventions in Ibadan , she shares advice for medical professionals in the Diaspora on how to engage with the Nigerian system in a way that is actually helpful. Beyond the business of healing, she also opens up about the emotional cost of high-stakes medical work. We explore the challenge of taking off the white coat after a heavy shift and how hard it is to stop being the "shock absorber" to simply be vulnerable.Support the show
