In 2019, Kelej bagged ‘One of 100 Most Influential Africans’ by New African Magazine in the UK for creating the campaign ‘Merck More than a Mother,’ to break stigma around infertile and childless women in Africa.

In the midst of the pandemic, Kelej spearheaded an online training of more than 600 doctors from 25 African countries and 10 developing countries in Asia and Latin America.

“Our strategy and our programme have been crystal clear – to invest in professional healthcare capacity building through providing scholarship for health care providers and helping train skilled doctors in the midst of this pandemic, has made a big difference,” she said.
