We are thrilled to celebrate Sabrina Ebengho, a former student from Rifat Atun’s Innovation in Global Health Systems course (ID552), for being named a 2025 Echoing Green Global Fellow!
During her time in the class, Sabrina began developing SAMI+, an initiative focused on reducing maternal and newborn mortality in rural Democratic Republic of Congo through AI-powered portable ultrasounds and training of mobile community health technicians.
Sabrina’s selection as an Echoing Green Fellow places her among a global cohort of changemakers selected from thousands of applicants working across health, equity, climate, and more. This fellowship will support the expansion of SAMI+ and lead to reduced maternal and newborn mortality in the DRC.

Seja mentor(a) no Hackathon HSIL 2026! A primeira relação de mentores já começou a ser selecionada, mas ainda dá tempo de participar.
