As members of the rural community, we set up this non-profit community hospital to extend health services to a largely poor community in Masaka-Kyotera that is burdened by disease and distant alternative heath services. While it is already promising to boost access to quality healthcare in the rural area, the beginning (as usual) is challenging. We are certain though that in a few years it will be able to stabilise and sustain itself. We therefore seek for your kind hand as the hospital stabilises. Just 10,000/ will make a difference, but you are welcome to give more. Thank you so much.
Yes, I think that’s the right way to put it: “… not MERELY to count publications…”. But publication itself is very important still.
Second, there is some sort of division of labour in the nexus between publication and innovation. Knowledge producers may not necessarily be the ones to practically innovate. Many innovators have relied on studies of scholars that did not engage in actual innovation. For instance, Karl Marx did not implement his socialist ideas, but that doesn’t make his publications like Das Kapital or Communist Manifesto less important. Several others have used them to solve some problems. The same with thinkers like Isaac Newton, Anta Diop, Mazrui etc. There is much more nuance to the linkages between knowledge production, uptake, and usage.
By court time today, his pressure was reading 200/100, medically speaking, this is a hypertensive crisis that requires urgent attention.
With such a scary condition, prosecution still fought his prayer of at least being detained from a health facility!!
Now ANYONE can drive an unmarked Toyota Hiace (Drone) to any corner of Uganda without being stopped by any police officer who still wants his job. Along the way, you can even pick anyone you want from anywhere (even a Minister) and torture, rob or rape them. No one will intervene, because everyone will think it’s an SFC operation.
