2020 Mzuzah@JHU Bloomberg School of Health

Award Winning Innovators

Speakers 2020

The Mzuzah Convergence @ The Bloomberg School of Public Health, 2020 Planning Team

This year, our conversations at the Mzuzah Convergence @ The Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health will be organized around the theme of Generating Value and Integrating Sustainability In the Healthcare Sector of Emerging Economies ( Africa Focus) . “Building a realistic intersection between Sustainability, Social /Environmental Impact and Economic Empowerment’’. In order to address key sustainability issues in Africa and other emerging countries, we must more deeply understand the current status quo—and how to disrupt it. There is no other way to do this than to engage with and be close to, the people and communities facing deep and persistent biases of all kinds. We’ll hear from community leaders, activists, social entrepreneurs, and innovators who bring a profound appreciation of our shared challenges and who have worked from within and side-by-side with communities to find solutions. 

*“Mzuzah” means wealth creation in the most ethical, beautiful, innovative and sustaining way that engages the support of the creator of the universe.*

MZUZAH @JHU Feb 19-21, 2020
