Earlier last week, we attended the Inaugural Lecture by DG @MinofHealthUG Prof @olaro_charles at @HotelAfricana.

People shared lived testimonies and how Prf has impacted the whole of Uganda, from Clinical, leadership, Community and international commitments.

I was so happy to be part and learn how Prof has done a lot to the Country.

I congratulate Prof Olaro, and thank @ClarkeU, @CIUuga , @RoseNanyongaCla for the good work.

Together we can learn from challenges to successful mentorship, and evidence-based leadership.

Yesterday, at Professor Charles Olaro’s inaugural professorial lecture hosted by @CIUuga, we were honoured to welcome Hon. @CHRISBARYOMUNS1, Minister of Health, as our guest of honour. In his address, he called on us to strengthen the “umbilical cord” between universities, industry, partners and policymakers. And to ensure “cross fertilisation”

The image stayed with me. An umbilical cord sustains life through what passes through it. It made me wonder what actually flows through the relationships we have established as institutions, and whether we allow that exchange to change us.

Universities have much to contribute. But we enter partnerships with established ways of deciding whose knowledge counts, which questions deserve investigation and what qualifies as expertise. Meaningful exchange asks us to be open to having some of those assumptions challenged.

A practitioner may describe a problem that does not fit neatly within our academic disciplines. A community may question whether the issue we want to research is the one that matters most to them. A policymaker may need an answer before our research timetable can provide it. These encounters can be uncomfortable, but they reveal where our ways of working need closer examination.

For me, this gives the Minister’s call for “cross-fertilisation” a deeper meaning. We need to consider when we invite others into our thinking. By the time we ask a partner to endorse a proposal or participate in a project, how much room remains for them to influence the question, the priorities or the approach?

As university leaders, we might learn something by looking at our partnerships through the decisions they have changed. What have we reconsidered because a partner challenged us? What have we made room for that our own institutional habits might otherwise have excluded?

That requires a particular kind of confidence: being secure enough in our expertise to let it be questioned, and willing to share influence over work for which we remain accountable.

As I reflect on the lecture, I find myself asking what we at CIU must be willing to change so that the exchange we value can take deeper root.

We are grateful to everyone who responded to our invitation and to the partners whose support made this convening possible. We will continue sharing reflections on the lecture and its call to action.

At the 5th Inaugural Lecture of Professor Charles Olaro, the Honourable Minister of Health delivered a powerful reflection on African scholarship, leadership, governance, and the transformative role of health in national development.

Highlighting the importance of celebrating our own, the Minister called for greater recognition of African achievements and challenged the continent’s scholars and leaders to use their knowledge to shape a better future.

The occasion was a powerful reminder that celebrating excellence is not only about honouring individual achievements, but also about inspiring generations to come.

👏 Congratulations to Prof. Charles Olaro, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health, Uganda, on this remarkable academic milestone!

At Clarke International University, we remain committed to advancing knowledge, celebrating excellence, and shaping leaders who transform communities and nations.

From the challenges of war-torn Gulu to national health leadership, Prof. Charles Olaro's journey demonstrates the power of resilience, continuous learning, mentorship, and evidence-based leadership.

His experience highlights how deliberate leadership and a commitment to learning can transform health institutions and improve service delivery. From strengthening Arua Regional Referral Hospital to contributing to improved maternal health outcomes and expanding patient-centred care, his story offers valuable lessons for current and future healthcare leaders.

His message is clear: Lead with accountability, build resilient systems, embrace continuous learning, and always put people first.

How do we measure returns in healthcare?

At his inaugural lecture, organised by #CIU at Hotel Africana, Prof. Charles Olaro highlights four key measures of a successful health system: stewardship, service reliability, treatment outcomes, and equity.

A powerful reminder that healthcare success goes beyond investment; it is measured by the quality of services, improved patient outcomes, and equitable access to care for all.

@RoseNanyongaCla Bridging the gap between academic knowledge and professional practice is essential in shaping the next generation of healthcare leaders. Universities must go beyond imparting theory to embrace practical experience, mentorship, evidence-based decision-making, and meaningful partnerships. Through the Professor of Practice initiative, #CIU reaffirms its commitment to developing competent, innovative, and transformative professionals equipped to address real-world challenges and make a lasting impact on society.”
