From Knowledge to Impact: Rethinking Healthcare Solutions in Nigeria

What does it really take to move from understanding a problem… to building something that actually solves it?

In this episode of the Monday Science Nigeria Special Series, Dr Bahijja Raimi-Abraham explors that question through the journey of Professor. Margaret Ilomuanya — pharmacist, academic, product developer, and one of the driving forces behind one of West Africa’s most significant pharmaceutical innovation milestones. From hospital pharmacy to academia, and into global research collaborations, her work sits at the intersection of science, systems, and real-world needs.

This conversation goes beyond career progression. It examines how lived clinical experience can shape research direction, why innovation often fails to reach the people it’s meant to serve, and what it looks like to build scientific infrastructure within the very environments where problems exist. At the centre of it is a clear thread: science is not just about discovery. It is about application, relevance, and impact!

Dr Bahijja's questions for you...

What does innovation look like in your context, and who is it really designed for?
Have you seen examples where research stays on paper instead of reaching people?
And what would need to change, in your field or system, for science to move more consistently from idea… to impact?
