Grateful for recognition from Tanzania’s Ministry of Education, Science & Technology for our @IntJStroke work.
From an unfunded @BugandoC registry during COVID to national stroke surveillance.
From evidence to action.
To God be the glory. #ResearchForImpact #Stroke #Tanzania

With this in mind, it is pretty hard to imagine Tanzanians developing such works, for our culture is basically 60 years old.

Such that in the next one to two generations these local languages will be lost completely. Christianity and Islam excelled in this, completely obliterating the pre-existing traditions.

Hear me out, the concept of Tanzania is man-made, one that had to be carved out of the 120+ tribes that existed pre-colonial. In the process of this creation, these subcultures had to be nerfed one way or another. Look at language—Swahili did a great job…

After watching The Odyssey and seeing just how much Western mythology and classics are a mainstay in Hollywood, I have come to the consideration that in the process of nation building, we deliberately destroyed the once co-existing cultures into an entity, “Tanzania.”

As the Africa Forward Summit has come to a close, I leave inspired by the collective commitment to advancing Africa’s health security and sovereignty.
Over the past days, leaders, partners, innovators, and young changemakers came together with one shared conviction: Africa must lead the transformation of its health future.
My sincere gratitude to all partners and participants for the rich engagements and bold vision for our continent. The work continues, and together, we move Africa forward.

Alors que le Sommet Africa Forward touche à sa fin, je repars inspiré par l’engagement collectif en faveur du renforcement de la sécurité sanitaire et de la souveraineté de l’Afrique.
Au cours des derniers jours, des dirigeants, partenaires, innovateurs et jeunes acteurs du changement se sont réunis autour d’une conviction commune : l’Afrique doit conduire la transformation de son avenir sanitaire.
J’adresse mes sincères remerciements à tous les partenaires et participants pour les échanges enrichissants et la vision ambitieuse portée pour notre continent. Le travail continue, et ensemble, nous faisons avancer l’Afrique.

Hiking fuel prices, terrible roads, rain, long traffic jams, bodaboda and bajaji everywhere, and crowded daladalas.
Dar’s transport sector is in the gutters

It's advantage @Arsenal, but there's still more to come in the title race...
Who are you backing to lift the trophy? 🏆

Honored to attend the 2nd @WFNSHQ & 1st #ISGNS Global Neurosurgery Conference in Dar es Salaam. As a @cosecsa surgical resident, I gained a new perspective on global neurosurgery, built meaningful connections, and feel more driven to improve access to safe neurosurgical care.
