Tackling Preventable Health Crises with Project Oscar

Changemakers from One Young World Series

Host Carol Cone delves into the inspiring story of Project Oscar, a transformative initiative combating neonatal jaundice to prevent life-altering conditions. We invited Oscar Anderson, disability activist and the project’s inspiration, and strategic partners Patty O’Hayer from Reckitt and Her Excellency Toyin Saraki of The Wellbeing Foundation Africa. They discuss the project’s global impact, including providing phototherapy lightboxes to rural hospitals in Vietnam and launching an inspiring program in Nigeria to combat jaundice. Listeners will gain insights into the power of purpose-driven partnerships, the importance of disability rights, and actionable steps to address preventable healthcare issues worldwide.

This episode is part of our multi-episode series featuring some of the world’s most influential changemakers who attended the 2024 One Young World Summit, a global forum that brings together young leaders from 190+ countries to accelerate social impact.
