ali mehdi, founding president
Ali is a Senior Global Health and Development Specialist, with 12 years of experience in developing, leading and conducting research projects to support evidence-based international, national and local policies.
His specific interest in health stems from, and is intertwined with, his larger concern with issues of development.
