To the new interns joining this week, welcome, comrades.

There is no greater calling than serving people at their most vulnerable moments in life. Pay attention to the art, master the science, listen to all, and forge your own path. Let textbooks, protocols, and guidelines guide your practice. Above all, listen to your patients- they are the biggest library you will ever find. But in all, Pray 🙏 All the best, guys💪

Our good old book says, “He who walked with the wise shall be wise: but the companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

Today, I stood in the operating theater with the great Prof. Dr. Peter S. Coleman, not just observing wisdom, but working beside it.

From the classroom to the surgical table, his words echo: use your knowledge and skills for the service of your people.

Today, just the first day of our week-long free surgical mission in Kakata, seventeen surgeries were performed. Lives touched. Purpose fulfilled.

Thank you, JFK.
Thank you, LCPS.
Thank you, MOH.
Thank you, WPHCC.

Tomorrow, we go again. Thank you, Lord.
