I’ve done all this in Nigeria.
Donated Blood sometimes because my patient couldn’t afford it.
Stuck my neck out for an OSUSTECH student attacked by cultists, suturing him in complete darkness because they could come back if they knew we were saving him.
Sprinting across the hospital to borrow an oxygen cylinder from another ward.
All while our salaries were being owed.
Non-functioning incubator? We built one with a paper box.
Infectious ward? We bought our own PPE.
Faulty Generator on Night shifts ? Serviced it and continue working.
WE got shit done.
In 2021, Tennessee lawmakers wanted to put a statue of Dolly Parton at the state capitol. Her response is a shining example of her humility.
Now that she's gone, Tennessee, you know what to do.
Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

Dolly created The Buddy Program
In 1991, she walked into a room of 7th and 8th graders in Tennessee and told them to pick a buddy

What happens when digital health solutions finally start speaking the same language?
At #ILF2026, convened by @eHealth_africa , ACE joined the conversation on the future of digital health, with Dr. Victory Ekpin, Lead, Research & Business Development, representing ACE.
Our work is focused on strengthening Nigeria’s digital health architecture by harmonising existing systems, addressing fragmentation and enabling interoperability, laying the foundations for a more integrated health system where digital solutions can connect, scale and contribute to system-wide transformation.
The conversations continue. So does the work.
