ONLEP Participants Gain Valuable Leadership Insight from Dr. Philip Anderson

On Saturday, August 15, 2026, participants of the ONLEP programme had the opportunity to engage with Dr. Philip Anderson, Director of Access to Healthcare at Amgen, in an inspiring session on leadership and professional development.

Dr. Anderson took participants beyond the traditional understanding of leadership, highlighting the importance of responsibility, continuous learning, vigilance and putting people at the centre of every decision.

Drawing from his experience in healthcare and access to innovative treatments, he encouraged participants to appreciate the critical role leaders play in protecting patients while navigating a rapidly changing healthcare environment. He emphasized the fact that effective leaders must remain curious and continuously update their knowledge, particularly in fields where new technologies, treatments and challenges are emerging at a fast pace.

Participants were also reminded that leadership requires the ability to recognize risks, respond to challenges promptly
and create systems that allow teams to learn from their experiences. Dr. Anderson stressed the importance of building a culture where people feel confident to speak up, share concerns, report problems and use available evidence to make better decisions.

His session reinforced a powerful message: leadership in healthcare is not simply about making decisions, it is about making responsible decisions that improve lives and protect the people we serve.
The ONLEP participants left the session inspired to become more informed, accountable, responsive and patient-centred leaders who can contribute meaningfully to the future of healthcare.

He concluded his session by saying, “when knowledge meets leadership and purpose, the impact can reach far beyond the workplace.”

Leadership is about influence, purpose, and taking action.

ONLEP participants were privileged to learn from Dr. Mrs. Eva Mensah, Director of Nursing and Midwifery Services at the Ghana Health Service (GHS), who inspired and challenged participants to become transformational leaders.

Drawing from her wealth of experience, Dr. Mensah shared practical leadership lessons that resonated deeply with participants. She encouraged participants to view every experience as preparation for greater opportunities, prioritize competence alongside qualifications, embrace adaptability as an essential survival skill, and intentionally build strategic partnerships that create lasting impact.

Above all, she emphasized that leadership is not defined by a position or title, but by the actions we take every day to serve, inspire, and make a difference.

The session was filled with rich discussions, reflections, and practical insights, leaving participants motivated and better equipped to lead with confidence, integrity, and excellence to lead in their various countries and beyond.

We sincerely thank Dr. Mrs. Eva Mensah for sharing her wisdom, experience, and passion for developing the next generation of healthcare leaders across Africa.
