Regardless of differences in race, ethnicity, and gender, all have the right to health. However, distinct populations in America and around the world are suffering from the effects of health disparities with little explanation and few efforts to mitigate this suffering. Charles Gabriel Kawena Akiona, a progressive degree student graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Master of Science in Global Medicine<\/a>, knows this firsthand. As a Native Hawaiian growing up in Hawai\u2018i, Akiona witnessed the impact of severe health disparities on his community. But it wasn\u2019t until college that his passion to study and heal underserved communities took root.
\nA writing assignment first inspired Akiona as he researched and described factors,\u00a0such as\u00a0the introduction of foreign bacteria and viruses, the high cost of living and shifts away from a traditional diet, that influence how health disparities arise. Akiona developed his understanding further through the Global Medicine program, where he learned how Hawai\u2018i\u2019s past health determinants, current issues and potential solutions were similar to those found\u00a0across the world.
\nWith global experiences in Uganda and Malaysia to inform his work, Akiona is excited for the next step in his journey \u2013 medical school. Akiona will attend the University of Hawai’i John A. Burns School of Medicine. As a medical student and, eventually, physician, Akiona hopes to work toward tackling major health disparities within domestic and foreign communities.
\nReflecting on his journey, Akiona said, \u201cUSC has provided me with the lenses to look beyond national boundaries and understand that everyone can provide what someone else in this world needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
