Today, we honour a woman whose work has shaped global humanitarian and development efforts for over three decades: Dr. Lola Dare, President of Chestrad Global. What began as a Nigerian research initiative, CHESTRAD has transformed under her leadership into a worldwide networked social enterprise, influencing policies and driving change in every corner of the globe. Through her commitment, CHESTRAD Global has become a respected thought leader in public health, using research and advocacy to impact policy at international, regional, national, and local levels.
Dr. Dare’s pioneering approach has centered on dialogue and evidence-based learning, contributing to significant shifts in policy that prioritize affordable, accessible healthcare as a foundation for inclusive development. Her work is rooted in the belief that health is the bedrock of equity, enabling societies to thrive through inclusive policies that meet the needs of all citizens. CHESTRAD’s reach today stands as a testament to her vision, spanning countries and regions where her efforts have brought meaningful, lasting impact.
In recognition of her exceptional influence, November 4th has now been marked as Chestrad Global Day—a celebration of Dr. Dare’s lifelong dedication and a call to continue the work she has championed. Her journey is an inspiring reminder of the power of one person’s vision to drive global change, and we celebrate the legacy she has created through CHESTRAD’s transformative work.
Happy birthday to the founder of Chestrad Global, Dr. Lola Dare!
Happy Chestrad Global Day
