She recognised the multiple complexities of health innovation among populations with limited access to health education and information. Since the 1970s, Dr. Miriam Were has been working hard to promote trust between governments, health authorities, and the citizenry through culturally sensitive programs. Her incessant focus on community health approaches facilitated acceptability of the health initiatives among the most vulnerable people, including the current vaccination efforts against COVID-19. Despite threats of violence and professional retaliation she continued her deep commitment to her mission and fight against corruption. Dr. Were believed that Peace and health was the foundation for the well-being of humanity and the planet and advocated the Community Approach as the modality for promoting both peace and health by empowering individuals and communities.
