Dr. Yvonne Commodore-Mensah has spent her career challenging that assumption.

In this episode of The Scopewell Podcast, James Leuthe sits down with Dr. Yvonne Commodore-Mensah, Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and Co-Founder and President of the Ghanaian Diaspora Nursing Alliance (gDNA), to explore reciprocal innovation and how research, community leadership, and diaspora partnerships can improve health outcomes across borders.


The conversation explores why diaspora-led organizations often outlast traditional grant-funded global health programs, how a solution developed for rural Ghana could help address challenges in rural America, and what it takes to turn promising ideas into lasting impact.


What we cover:

  • Why diaspora-led organizations often outlast grant-funded global health initiatives
  • How gDNA has grown into a global network spanning more than 30 African countries
  • MAMA-CVD: training unemployed midwives to detect heart failure using portable ultrasound
  • The concept of reciprocal innovation, and why ideas can flow in every direction
  • What most healthcare leaders get wrong when trying to move from idea to outcome
  • Dr. Commodore-Mensah's vision for the future of global health and the role of the diaspora

Dr. Yvonne Commodore-Mensah is Professor and Associate Dean for Research at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, President of the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, and Co-Founder and President of the Ghanaian Diaspora Nursing Alliance (gDNA).
