Inside Build Health International's New Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone

Описание: In this episode of Med City Fem Forward, we are joined by Allison Adamson, architect at Build Health International, about the creation of a Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone — a project designed to transform maternal healthcare delivery in one of the world’s highest-risk regions for childbirth.
Listeners will gain insight into how thoughtful healthcare design can save lives, empower communities, and reshape global health equity — and why American healthcare stakeholders should pay attention to these efforts.
