Abstract | It is a great honour and privilege to be invited to do this keynote presentation on “The Africa We want: Education and Health Nexus”. The invitation did come with worry on what real-life example to contextualize. However, the concern for the colloquium is “regarding the lack of educational and health aspirations, especially amongst the youth of African migrant communities”. Hence, this presentation is going to be on health aspiration that most of us subconsciously negate in our embrace of social support. It stems from cultural practice that constitutes a basis of mental trauma that impacts on our health. It is hoped that the exposition would stimulate discussion on ethics, which will translate to education among the Africans in diaspora and possibly arouse some interest in health profession among the youth. |
