Elizabeth Vaah

About Me: 

Executive Director and mother of Nyilale Vaah Junior (died at birth as a result of neglect and substandard care), Mrs Vaah is an experienced Finance and Accounting professional. Her first hand experience with such incompetence and negligence makes her a strong advocate for better service delivery and safety of our women and newborn babies in Ghana's hospitals.

My Passions: 
Demand standard care for women in labour and for newborns
My Challenges: 
overcoming apathy and lack of accountability in Ghana's healthcare system
My Vision for the Future: 
A future where a pregnant woman in Ghana has as much a chance at having safe delivery as her counterpart in Cuba or the US
My Areas of Expertise: 
Maternal health, Financial Management
My Languages: 
English, Twi, Nzema, French
