@emakasa The times I spent with Prof John Jellis during my registrar training are etched into my memory. It was an unforgettable experience travelling and operating in remote parts of Zambia with him. I will cherish the stories and the wisdom of this honourable Professor!

@emakasa Well done Michael! The benefits indeed outweigh the challenges.

[Jithan Koshy @JJJiths]

@emakasa Fond memories of working with Dr Goran Yovic on the Flyspec program. The dedication and sacrifice to his work in Plastic Surgery in Zambia is inspiring to any surgeon.

I hope Namzi is feeling better. Her comics are great!

I was wondering why I was suddenly getting so much anti-vaxxer hate...then I realised who retweeted Namzi's comic! Namzi can't stop smiling! So encouraged and totally starstruck!🤩 Thank you @BillGates

After a few miserable days with COVID, my 11-year old daughter, Namzi, decided to make her 3rd COVID vaccine comic. This time, tackling the complex issues of T-cells and global vaccine equity in a super simple way. Thoughts? @virusmonologues @HsiaoMarvin @miamalan @paimadhu

Tired of her public health mom ranting about vaccine hesitancy and ridiculous conspiracy theories, my 10-year-old daughter, Namzi, decided to channel the rage into creativity, with a vaccine comic. At least I am getting through to someone #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccinesWork
