Dr. Adi has been a physician for 35 years and kidney specialist for over 25 years. While growing up in southeastern Nigeria, he watched as his father, an Oxford University educated physician, and his mother who was then a nurse, made the often-hazardous trip every month to their village from the city to provide free healthcare services. For over twenty years, these trips were often the main source of healthcare for so many in the rural areas, and a young boy saw the profound difference a few committed people could make in the lives of others.
He later turned down admission to college for computer science despite an excellent score, opting instead to go to medical school. He completed medical school at the University of Nigeria, internal medicine residency program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, and the kidney specialty fellowship at Emory University, Atlanta. He also holds an MBA and is founder of Drums of Hope Charity organization.
Dr. Adi is also a winner of the KidneyX award. KidneyX is an innovation accelerator partnership between the American society of Nephrology (ASN) and the US Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS).
