Yatta David

School/Institution: Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University

Major/minor: Master Degree in Public Health

Giving Back: My volunteer and charitable networks that I have served as member and/or leader in are HIV-PACT, Up 'Til Dawn for St.Jude's Children's Research Hospital, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc and The Sevire Society. My activities include free rapid HIV testing, fundraising for St.Jude's, and various community outreach projects based on education, health and international awareness & involvement for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

Five-Year Aspirational Plan: In five years I plan on owning a HIV/AIDS and Mental Health wellness clinic, where I'll be the CEO,and one of the many onsite physicians and Health psychologist in Liberia. The plan for the impact of a clinic such as this, is to decrease the incidence rate of HIV/AIDS by 25% in Liberia each year. Due to the success of the clinic hopefully it will transcend and be implemented into other African countries.

Country you are representing: Liberia

Platform: I want to decrease the incidence of HIV/AIDS in Africa and decrease the stigma surrounding the Mentally ill by implementing a program based on awareness, counseling, rapid HIV testing, and referral services, and provide support groups for individuals and families afflicted with Mental Health issues.
