Danjuma K. Adda is a Nigerian prince and accomplished Public health expert on a mission to raise awareness about Hepatitis. Danjuma was infected with Hep B while in clinical rotations and then lost his own mother to the disease several years later. Even though Hepatitis kills more people per year than HIV/AIDS, it receives just a fraction of the global health funding.
Danjuma is a leading voice for Hepatitis patients in Nigeria and uses his platform to advocate for the most vulnerable populations across Africa. He wants to change the narrative about Hepatitis and raise awareness about the deadliness of the disease.
Danjuma is a native of Taraba state, Nigeria. He is married with four kids. He has a background in microbiology/virology, and an MPH, with over 15 years-experience in public health and advocacy.
Danjuma is the past President, World Hepatitis Alliance (WHA), the first African to hold that position. He is also member of the WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Committee on HIV, Viral Hepatitis and STIs (STAC-HHS).
