African Naturopathic Science and the Art of Integrative Care From Diagnostic Silos to Person-Centred Neuro-Metabolic Care Expert Interdisciplinary Lecture / Panel Presentation Mental health and metabolic health can no longer be treated as separate clinical territories. People living with severe mental disorders experience a profound burden of preventable physical disease and may die 10–20 years earlier than the general population, with much of this excess mortality attributable to physical illnesses, particularly cardiometabolic conditions. At the same time, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep disruption and other metabolic disturbances frequently coexist with depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis and cognitive dysfunction. Contemporary research increasingly identifies interconnected biological and behavioural pathways involving insulin signalling, chronic low-grade inflammation, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation, oxidative stre

I am offering this masterpiece article to all Sierra Leoneans ! It deserves to be read not only by government officials, but also by parliamentarians, legal professionals, journalists, traditional and religious leaders, civil-society organisations, diplomats, the diaspora, universities, and ; most importantly the young people of Sierra Leone. This is not an attack on a government, a political party, or an individual. It is a national reflection and an invitation to every Sierra Leonean ; inside and outside positions of authority to examine the condition of our Republic and the quality of leadership required to rebuild it. May it reach the right minds, disturb comfortable silence, awaken responsible leadership, and inspire citizens to believe once again that Sierra Leone can rise through integrity, intelligence, and collective courage. Together, We Rise.! Sierra Leone’s Silent Emergency: The Leadership Intelligence Required to Rebuild a Nation A nation is not ultimately destroyed by the

An African Naturopathic Medicine Perspective on Public Memory, Community Healing, and the Future of Global Health The future of health equity will not be built by hospitals, technologies, medicines, policies, or insurance systems alone. These are necessary, but they are not sufficient. A society may build clinics and still leave communities unhealed. It may produce public health campaigns and still fail to restore trust. It may expand access to care and still ignore the historical wounds, cultural humiliations, ecological disruptions, and ancestral silences that continue to live inside the bodies of people. This is why the theme “Memory Landscapes: Reclaiming Cultural Power for Health Equity” is not merely a cultural or historical topic. It is a profound public health question. It asks us to examine the landscapes that shape belonging, dignity, trust, identity, safety, and collective resilience. It asks whether communities can be healthy when their memories have been erased, distorted,

Reclaiming authority to define problems, steward talent, and build sovereign capacity How a problem is framed determines whether it can be solved. Sierra Leone must move beyond declarative commitments to STEM and international prestige and instead align education with national development needs. Current narratives that valorise isolated innovation and foreign paradigms risk producing graduates with credentials but without the practical skills, managerial capacity, or entrepreneurial orientation needed to transform local economies. This article proposes a policy architecture to reframe education as a tool of sovereign development: curricula anchored to national priorities, state stewardship of study‑abroad pathways, investments in teachers and rural infrastructure, and governance mechanisms that distribute authority and accountability. Framing the problem Innovation histories often celebrate the lone genius — Dyson, Picasso and Braque, Xerox PARC ; but these stories conceal a structural

Artificial intelligence. For many people, these two words still sound distant, technical, and almost unreal. They evoke images of advanced laboratories, powerful computers, Silicon Valley companies, and futuristic debates far removed from the dust of African roads, the noise of our markets, the rhythm of our homes, and the daily struggles of our communities. Yet the truth is much simpler. Artificial intelligence is no longer far away. AI is already here. It is in our pockets, in our phones, in our homes, in our workplaces, in our schools, in our farms, in our hospitals, in our banks, and increasingly in the decisions that shape our daily lives. Whether we notice it or not, AI is quietly transforming the way Africans live, work, learn, trade, communicate, heal, organize, and dream. AI Is No Longer a Future Concept For many Africans, AI may still appear to be an abstract idea. But in reality, millions of people already interact with it every day without calling it by name.
