Nsoh is committed to advancing adolescent mental health and integrating preventive care into health systems across Africa.

He graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Yaoundé, where he developed a strong interest in preventive health. As a student, he participated in nine health campaigns targeting underserved communities, successfully raising over £30,000 in grant funding. Nsoh served as President of the Cameroon English-Speaking Medical Students’ Association (CAMESA), where he led the first student-led health campaign for internally displaced persons affected by the country’s political crisis. This included "Project Happiness," a mental health initiative delivered in partnership with Ten Per Cent Africa. Recognising the mental health needs of medical students, he founded Med Mental, a peer-support platform that won the top grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Pan-African Youth Leadership Program.

Nsoh currently works as a primary care physician, focusing on disease prevention, and contributes educational articles on non-communicable diseases and mental health through the NGO Easy Health. He has co-authored three research papers exploring the mental health of adolescents in Yaoundé, including studies on drug use and chronic disease. At Oxford, he aims to transition from clinical care to health policy and research, focusing on integrated adolescent health and the incorporation of mental health into mainstream care.
