Conflict is not proof that your marriage has failed.

How you handle conflict reveals whether Christ is shaping your hearts.

Happy Sabbath

That nagging pain that feels like you were family. Memories from a distance that feel like you were so close. Royalty that came with unusual humility and low profile. No drama, no harm, no noise - just human.

I have patients who get gloomy when the line is long. Then I have another group that understands.

On Monday, one gentleman looked at me with concern and said, “Dr., how are you holding up with this long line?” He had brought his dad for check up.

He did not complain that we were delaying him. He saw the work load at hand and understood. That meant the world to me.

At 2:30pm, I saw his father. I left the clinic at 6pm.

Many times we don’t understand what having 1 eye doctor for 2.4 million people means until we are on the line waiting

🔥 Things are getting out of hand!

🔥 The best way to manage HIV is never to get it.

🔥 Now that the highways and Islands are giving way to parlours and big districts- we need to be very alert!

👉 Imagine, 100 new infections per day. Don't be part of this statistics

LEPACANAVIR IS NOT A VACCINE.

LEPACANAVIR IS NOT A VACCINE.

Lepacanavir is an HIV PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) medicine. This means it is a drug given before a person is exposed to HIV to help prevent them from acquiring the virus.

It is administered as an injection every 6 months and has been studied and shown to be safe and highly effective for HIV prevention.

Those who may benefit most include people at higher risk of acquiring HIV, such as long distance truck drivers, healthcare workers with occupational or other risks, serodiscordant couples (where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative), sex workers, and people with multiple sexual partners.

In short, Lepacanavir is not a vaccine it is HIV PrEP designed to prevent HIV infection.

What else do you need from me? 🤷‍♂️

This is my second keynote speech in life. The first one was in 2023 at Colledge of Ophthalmologists of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa (COECSA) in Mombasa.

This time around after finishing, I was surrounded by so many people congratulating me. I was honestly lost for who to talk to first. I got countless hugs but these are some of the comments that stood out for me:

“I felt like you were speaking directly to me. We have been struggling to set up our eye care facility for years. Thank you for the inspiration”

“I was honestly starting to feel like the congress was a flop, then you spoke”

“You spoke with so much grace and confidence. Thank you for everything you’re doing for that place”

“Gladys, that was exceptional. We are ready to support you”

“I kept holding my tears back with every word that came out of your mouth. Keep up the great work”

“You were just like an angel up there”

We stand with all medical interns

🩺 ☠️ I have failed to wrap my mind around this issue.

🔥 We have talked about the medical internship issue for 8 months- clearly the government @MinofHealthUG has had ample time to handle it.

🔥 We are instituting bad habits in our young doctors!

Last time the Minister made an impromptu visit to Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, he found only interns on the ground because interns were still there.

That cohort has since completed. The new one has refused to report until they are assured of their facilitation.
This time, the Minister found only medical students.

This is the clearest evidence yet of how heavily the system leans on interns to close the human resource gap.
Pay all medical interns.
No excuses. No delays.

Anxiety before eye surgery is something we encounter quite often so whenever we have such patients, we usually bring them into the theater area early while another surgery is in progress.

This allows them to become familiar with the environment before it is their turn. We also make sure that, once the first patient is done, there’s a brief opportunity for the two patients to interact.

Hearing a first hand account from someone who has undergone the procedure often works wonders in calming fears.

Yesterday, however, we had a patient for whom none of our usual tactics seemed to work. She was visibly terrified.

As we spoke to her, she explained why. She told us that she had never been to a health facility in her entire life. She had never been admitted anywhere, never undergone any medical procedure, and by her account, had never fallen sick.

This was her first encounter with a hospital setting, and now she was facing eye surgery. We kept reassuring her that everything would be alright, but her fear lingered.

I have a habit of playing music in theater while I operate. It helps to calm the atmosphere for both staff and patients. On this particular day, Sinach’s ‘Victory is my name’ was playing in the background, a song I love so much ❤️❤️

As my theatre nurse gently tried to guide the patient onto the operating table, I overheard her say, “Before they work on you, let’s dance a little.”

And just like that, something beautiful happened in my theatre.

The nurse took her hand,and the two began to dance, a blind patient and a nurse dancing!

For a few moments, her fear disappeared. The operating theater was no longer a place of uncertainty and anxiety.

It became a place filled with music, laughter, and human connection. Music has a way of bringing us together. The patient smiled. She relaxed and forgot for a moment why she was in theater.

By the time we positioned her for surgery, she was completely calm. She remained calm throughout the entire procedure.

Sometimes, medicine isn’t just found in the scalpel, the microscope, or the medication. Sometimes, it’s found in a song, a dance, and a kind hand reaching out at exactly the right moment🫠🫠

Health Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi was left in shock last night due to the devastating conditions at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital where he had made an abrupt visit.
