Quotes My belief is that as long as there are zoonotic diseases in any one part of the world that are not attended to, the rest of the world is at risk. Uganda spends about sh600m annually on importing drugs such as antibiotics, anti malaria's, painkillers insulin as well as medical supplies like diagnostic, kits reagents, and packaging materials yet every year many graduates with PhDs every year. Why can't this students innovate drugs are kids and they stop importing them. The nurses, among other health givers at the public health facilities, should act responsibly to save lives without wasting time.A single minute wasted without attending to an emergency can lead to death.
