Today marked the opening of the SONAM EA Faculty & Staff Workshop, bringing together colleagues from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania for three days of reflection, collaboration, and planning as we review progress, refine priorities, and strengthen our collective impact.

We were honoured to have Aga Khan University Provost, Prof. Tania Bubela open the workshop and set the tone for a productive and impactful few days ahead.

When Dr. O’Brien Kyololo watched nurses struggle to insert a cannula into his newborn as the baby cried until he had no tears left, he knew things had to change.

That painful moment became the turning point.

Today, his research @akusonamea is transforming how healthcare providers across Sub-Saharan Africa understand, assess, and manage pain in babies and children. Because babies do feel pain. And we must do better.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, love, and quiet sacrifices of mothers everywhere.

Happy Mother’s Day☺️

In honor and recognition of the remarkable nurses and midwives!

The reality is clear: too few midwives are carrying too heavy a load. When midwives are stretched, care is compromised. Investing in more midwives is not a future goal, it is an immediate necessity.

Male caregivers of women living with cervical cancer face real yet often overlooked challenges, emotional distress, financial strain, knowledge gaps, and shifting roles.

Dr. Abednego Ongeso and team explored these experiences in Nairobi, co-developing a care model centered on peer support, education, mental health, and improved care coordination.

This work will be presented at the CUGH 2026 Conference in Washington, D.C.
