In the interview, she reflects on the motivations and experiences that led her to establish Reaching Zero-Dose Children as a doctoral student.
She speaks about her early exposure to social health disparities through her hands-on engagement with expectant mothers at birth centers in Japan. A turning point came during her visit to Ghana in January 2024, where she encountered firsthand the urgent challenges faced by expectant mothers living in marginalized regions. This experience deepened her commitment to health equity and drove her to take concrete action through the creation of the organization.
The article offers valuable insights for students and young professionals interested in global health, advocacy, and the power of cross-sector collaboration.
