It’s also about hope.We spotlight Uganda’s development of a new #breastcancer treatment drug, South Africa’s promising #HIV cure trials, and the growing wave of #grassrootsinnovation that’s reshaping Africa from the ground up in spite of the state.Featuring Robert Kabushenga, Charles Onyango-Obbo, Ferial Haffajee, and Adesuwa Giwa-Osagie.Listen.
