Sadie Joba

"Immersed in the intersection of healthcare and environmental sustainability, my mission is to create a healthier, more sustainable future. Recognizing the vital role of health equity and the health risks tied to environmental changes, I apply my healthcare expertise to impactful sustainability contributions. The worrisome reality is that the substantial greenhouse gas emissions from the healthcare sector are inadvertently harming our patients through the very act of providing care. I am dedicated to aligning healthcare seamlessly with environmental sustainability, fostering well-being and addressing health risks. Through my commitment to health equity and impactful sustainability contributions, I strive to assist in forging a path towards a healthier, sustainable tomorrow for our future generations."
