About Me

A Mission Rooted in
Health Equity and Science

I'm Simon Boakye, a Public Health Professional with over three years of experience in public health practice, driving immunization, surveillance programmes and programmatic support in Ghana. My work has centered on the frontline delivery of routine vaccines across regions and districts in Ghana, in partnership with government health directorates, CSOs, NGOs, and development partners. I am looking to transition my field experience to contribute to the mission of organization supporting programmatic and strategic efforts that protect vulnerable populations worldwide.

Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Global Health at the University of Geneva. As the Founder of EquiHealth Academy, he pioneered a curriculum that goes beyond disease treatment to integrate psychosocial support, compassionate leadership, and practical field skills. Simon's work systematically addresses the disparity in professional opportunities, empowering students, young professionals, and individuals from diverse backgrounds and underserved communities to contribute meaningfully to global public health security and community resilience. Simon believes that the strength of a health system depends on the diversity of its leaders and members; therefore, he works to ensure that professional development is accessible to everyone anywhere.

"Geography, socioeconomic background, and access to opportunity should never determine the quality of one's contribution to global public health and human dignity."
