What has been your inspiration to venture into the healthcare consultancy niche?
I am part of an organization that is passionate about quality healthcare in marginalized communities. My biggest inspiration has been finding community health care workers who have developed intelligent solutions fit for their context and responding to the needs that surround them. The picture painted by empirical research on the ground is often more hopeful. When we take a close look at communities in need of quality health care, there are often solutions that are yet to be noticed that are being applied.
As a link between the South African government and the Dutch Embassy, how do you manage the everyday stressors in work and personal life that help you ensure a work-life balance?
I focus on my own personal well-being and put that first, when I am well balanced and clear in thought I can give my best to all other roles I play on a daily basis.
