This video is full of a lot of wisdom that most people these days don’t want to acknowledge. Everything in life is built overtime and we have to respect those natural timeliness. Forget about the the few outliers who might have different paths or artificially created social media pretenders.

On Anne Juuko’s Kindness
One thing I learnt in my previous work life is that I am responsible for keeping myself grounded. Humility is a big part of doing that kind of job. Of getting people to work with you & die for you rather than work for & die working!! It is the most effective way to get results & even exceed them. Grounding is central to humility.
Back to its techniques. There are some that may seem bizarre but they work. Like a random prison visit or visiting a cemetery. Attending funerals. For me this has always been a must. Visiting hospitals especially those that cater to the underprivileged. Not to visit a patient, but to see misfortune & suffering. To remind you that this could be you or because of you. It also shapes you into a better person & do fulfilling good, where you are with what you have.
This is why I share with you a story my friend Anne Juuko has written about her involvement with child cancer at @UCCF_Official. And oh🫢! One other technique is to read about these things. That is simpler & perhaps less traumatic. So read this tearjerker if you have the courage.

It was a great time at the @OrthoSocietyUg 18th Annual Scientific conference at Hotel Bamus Sarovar Portico yesterday.
I talked about the invaluable role of Orthoplastic surgery in care for our patients. To seal it off, I made a case report presentation on one of the many patients we have restored hope and mobility for through Orthoplastics approach.

I don’t say this lightly but these people are proper jokes or they think Ugandans are daft.
GSK (GlaxoSmithKline), one of the world’s biggest and most storied pharmaceutical companies, has its largest pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturing facility on just 55 Hectares (135 acres). It’s located in Wavre, Belgium
The world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturing plant by acreage is the Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
It’s on 1,300 acres, is vertically integrated (makes APIs, vaccines etc).
It supplies products to more than 120 Countries.
DEI Pharma is a mere generics manufacturer (or should be), has ZERO market presence-not even in our countries that import more than 85% of their pharmaceutical needs-and struggles to pay salaries to its employees, some of whom earn less than $200 a month. Why would they need 1,000 acres?
What are we smoking as a country?

Government seeks 600 more acres in Wakiso to expand Dei BioPharma to 1,000 acres to meet international standards, Lands Minister Nabakooba says. The facility, founded by Dr Matthias Magoola, currently sits on 400 acres and is expected to manufacture high-cost drugs including sickle cell treatment, potentially cutting prices by over 99%. Magoola says a similar project in Kamuli is 70% complete. 📹Noeline Nabukenya #MonitorUpdates
