Designing the Future of Health Care with Dr. Elikem Tamaklo

Season 4 · Episode 1

Thursday, April 2, 2026 • Duration 40:11

This episode of the Mistakes Over Failure podcast begins in Ghana and the UK, exploring the future of global health care with Dr. Elikem Tamaklo — a physician turned CEO turned ecosystem architect. From honoring his father’s legacy at a family hospital in Ghana to scaling multi-site care and now building platforms for Africa’s health care future, his story is part grit, part vision and all impact.

This episode explores leadership that holds multiple truths at once: empathy as infrastructure, culture as a system for scale and courage as a daily practice. We discuss gut decisions, boardroom tension, AI’s role in care and why Africa’s next generation isn’t waiting for permission to lead.

It’s a conversation about building where systems are fragile, leading where stakes are human and choosing bold action over comfortable indecision.

Because the future doesn’t belong to the flawless. It belongs to those willing to design it.
