Operation 2045: Rethinking Africa’s NCD Future, Africa’s Health Beyond Political Cycles | EP 16 Pt 1

Описание: Operation 2025: Rethinking Africa’s NCD Future | Planning Africa’s Health Beyond Political Cycles | Dr. Patrick Ngassa Piotie


Africa’s biggest health crisis is not a virus. It is slow, structural, and largely invisible.

In this education-focused episode, Dr. Patrick Ngassa Piotie takes us inside the future of Africa’s health systems, reframing non-communicable diseases as political, economic, and governance challenges, not just medical ones.
From his research journey spanning clinical medicine, population health, and systems thinking, Dr. Piotie explains why Africa’s NCD burden, especially diabetes, cannot be solved by treatment alone. It demands long-term planning that survives election cycles, integrates mental health, and confronts the political economy shaping health outcomes.

In this episode, we explore:

• The intellectual journey from clinical care to population health and systems leadership
• Diabetes and NCDs as structural problems rooted in health systems performance and policy design
• Why evidence-based solutions often fail to scale across African health systems
• The gap between research, policy, and real-world implementation
• Pan-African collaboration, governance, and shared health futures
• Leadership, innovation, and what must be built today for the next generation
This conversation moves beyond short-term interventions to ask a harder question: how do we design health systems that think 20 to 30 years ahead?
If you are interested in public health, African development, health policy, NCD prevention, systems thinking, or sustainable governance, this episode offers rare clarity and strategic insight.
