In this episode, we share the story of Faith — a final-year medical student whose journey crosses oceans, but whose heart has always been rooted in one mission: healing the divides in healthcare. From the classrooms of Canada to the hospitals of Ireland, Faith has carried a vision of a world where no community is forgotten. Her work in HIV stigma, rural medicine, and global immunization is more than research — it’s a call to action.
