The Mystery of Inequity
I have had the good fortune to connect with and mentor a few students from Nigeria, and one from Ghana, through the magic modern invention known as Facebook. These students have been participating, answering questions and seeking clarifications in the free video resources I have been posting on my social media outlets, wishing to improve their skills.
One of my mentees from Nigeria hopes to one day become a doctor. I learned today that his mother is affected by hepatitis B, which is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. There are 20 million people living with hepatitis B, C, or both in Nigeria, and more than 80% of the people who have the disease do not even know their status.
