Yusuf Hassan Wada

In a world where many talk about change, Yusuf Hassan Wada is one of the few actively shaping it. A dynamic force at the intersection of health systems, global policy, and community impact, Yusuf is one of Africa’s most promising health policy advocates. From local initiatives to global conferences, he’s using his expertise to bridge the gap between policy decisions and real-world impact and ensuring the voices of underserved communities are not left out of the room.

Currently working with Society for Family Health (SFH) and serving with organizations like the International AIDS Society (IAS) and NIH Collaboratories, Yusuf is leading vital conversations on public health financing, youth advocacy, and systems reform across Africa and beyond. His work doesn't just inspire, it teaches. And for young changemakers, aspiring public health professionals, or anyone curious about breaking into global health policy, his story is a masterclass in clarity, courage, and consistency.

We sat down with Yusuf for an exclusive feature in our 7th issue of Mpart Magazine and trust us, this is one you don’t want to miss. Inside, you’ll discover how he built credibility in global spaces, the frameworks guiding his advocacy, and the little-known opportunities that helped shape his journey. We also pulled out his best insights into a no-fluff Changemaker Playbook, so you walk away with practical, proven strategies.

Plus, catch our in-depth conversation on The iMPART Podcast, where Yusuf opens up about the systems behind his success, staying grounded while going global, and why African youths must seize the frontlines of health policy now.
