Sarah Ali and Ffyona Patel, both fellows at Yale’s Global Health Leadership Institute (GHLI), are passionate about solving global problems at the local level.
Ali blogs from Uganda, where she is working on projects studying non-communicable diseases (NCDs). “I have now been in Uganda for about a month and each encounter with a new person is always met with surprise when I explain what I am doing here. ‘Are [NCDs] even a problem in Uganda?’ The answer is a resounding yes!”
