I deeply believe that nobody should be deprived of health access because they were born in a specific environment. Together with Thiago de Almeida Pereira, Hope Leng, Narelli Paiva, and Kian Shaker, and with the support of the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health, I created the Stanford global health club, a group that meets monthly, invites speakers, and encourages interdisciplinary discussions. I am proud to see the club flourish into more than a meeting place, giving rise to friendships, fresh ideas and collaborations. This award is a tribute to our collective work on increasing health access for all.
