Akuba Dolphyne - Badass Ghanaian Women - S1E1

Akuba Dophyne born in Ghana, moved to the US to attend college and now in Norway. Akuba is a Senior advisor for digital health implementations at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (Folkehelseinstituttet) in Oslo Norway. She works on projects in low- and middle-income countries under the support of NORAD, with the aim of improving the quality of care and achieving universal health coverage. In her words, “You may be surprised by the background and contributions of the immigrants you may see among you,” as she reflected back at a time when her mother who could not get a seat on a crowded bus, and what contribution her mother has made in women's rights in Norway from the work she did at the UN 40 years ago.
