Thanks @ASOU_Official for providing a platform to engage. Trainee and community firstaid capacity programs such as one published here https://t.co/rYvd3BqiBB could address some human resource barriers to trauma care but we need address systemic challenges https://t.co/vXO4dFYvzK
Global Surgery in Action: Lessons from the Ugandan MOTOR Trial Study.
In a plenary session, Dr. Herman Lule—surgeon, researcher, and global health professional at the @universityofedinburg discussed the power of structured education in saving lives.
Using Kirkpatrick’s Model and the WHO Health System Building Blocks, Dr. Lule demonstrated how trauma education can be effectively implemented in low-income contexts.
The Impact of the MOTOR Trial:
✅ Improved Efficiency: Significant gains in organization and time management.
✅ Better Outcomes: A proven reduction in both mortality and morbidity.
✅ Capacity Building: Medical officers showed increased proficiency and a newfound passion for pursuing surgical careers.
This study proves that strategic investments in global trauma education are not just feasible—they are essential.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.
We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
As a transitional justice expert, I’m familiar with this kind of silence. It’s not that people can’t see what’s wrong, no. it’s the deep pain they’re carrying that keeps them quiet. It’s easy to mistake that silence for peace, but it’s not. It’s tension building beneath the surface. Then one day, something seemingly small, like the price of bread going up triggers an explosion. That’s how dangerous years of bottled-up anger can be. The English call it “the calm before the storm.” Ate awo babera tebakyafugika.
The hatred coming to Baganda will be felt for decades. @SsemujjuIN baamulabudde dda, @MSseggona ali ku nkatu, Muwanga Kivumbi avuunda, @HEBobiwine ali ku mawanga, @EriasLukwago bamumwedde omutwe, Eddie Mutwe baamumwa twamwerabira nabalala. Nammwe mukirowoozeko.
