In this episode, I speak with Professor Diane Ashiru-Oredope, a credentialed consultant pharmacist and a leading voice in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and pharmaceutical public health.

We explore:

Diane’s insights are invaluable for any health leader looking to navigate complex systems, influence policy, and drive meaningful change.
