In this passionate talk, Stella Iwuagwu calls out the need for empathy and compassion when it comes to healthcare. She asks us to value human rights and reject stigma, as she shares her own experience in the medical world as both a caretaker and a patient. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by Stella Iwuagwu. Filmed at TED Talent Search Lagos 2017. NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
