The Healthy Matters Podcast

Season 2 - Episode 08 - Healthcare the World Over - Senegal Edition

Believe it or not, healthcare is healthcare - the world over.  Our journeys to better health may be very different, but at its core, the need for healthcare is the same for all of us.

On the surface, Senegal, in Africa, couldn't be more different than Minnesota, however many of the conditions people face there with regard to their health are not too dissimilar - Hypertension (high blood pressure), dehydration, adequate nutrition from an ever-changing food supply, COVID - the list goes on.  On Episode 8 of the podcast, we welcome Bolo Diallo-Young, a registered nurse at Hennepin Healthcare and the founder of Cellal Africa, an organization dedicated to building sustainable healthcare resources in Senegal, and beyond.  Dr. Hilden recently visited Senegal with Bolo and Cellal, and on this episode, we'll give a glimpse into Senegalese life, discuss the successes of the organization, and the challenges they face going forward.  It's an inspiring conversation with a very inspiring person you won't want to miss.  Join us!
