Dear Geoff and HIFA colleagues,
Thank you, Geoff, for this helpful summary. The point that stood out most for me was that the key is how we communicate the science and translate evidence into the everyday lives of people.
From my work as a doctor and science educator, I see this gap daily. Young people often meet health evidence first in the classroom, and if it is not explained clearly there, it rarely reaches their homes and communities. This is why I have been working to present health science in plain, simple language for secondary school students across West Africa.
Schools are an underused bridge between evidence and action. A student who understands why we sleep under a treated net, wash hands or complete a vaccine schedule often becomes the one who explains it at home.
Best wishes,
Dr. Chigozie Michael Nwalozie (MD) Medical Doctor and Science Educator
