- Abstract
- This article, published on December 18, 2024, profiles Emmanuel Naturinda, a Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program participant via BRAC Uganda. Naturinda's deep-seated goal to improve Africa’s healthcare infrastructure was driven by the loss of his mother and friends due to systemic inefficiencies. The Scholars Program supported his high school, undergraduate studies at KNUST in Ghana, and now his pursuit of a Master’s degree in Health Informatics at the University of Toronto. Furthermore, Emmanuel cofounded Nugget Poultry, an award-winning social venture that provides training and market access to rural farmers, especially women, strengthening local economies. His dedication continues, aiming to apply technology to implement lasting, systemic healthcare change.
