Joan Naadu Hazel
Pharmacist, Mother, and Activist in Accra, Ghana
I am a Public Health Research Scholar and Maternal & Child Health specialist dedicated to transforming health systems through evidence-based accountability and innovation. Currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Ghana, my work focuses on institutionalizing Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) by addressing implementation challenges and financial requirements. Beyond academia, I am the co-founder of Baby Miracles Ghana and a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, where I translate research into tangible peer support for families with preterm birth experiences. My mission is to bridge the gap between policy and practice, offering expert consultancy in program evaluation and impact assessment to ensure every mother and child has access to equitable, high-quality care.
