DAY 28/30 — If I had 30 minutes with a hospital staff member, this is what I would do.

I wouldn't start by asking:

"What is your job title?"

I'd ask:

"What is one thing in this hospital that frustrates you every single day?"

Then I'd listen.

Because the person working closest to a problem often understands it differently from the person sitting in the office making decisions about it.

A laboratory scientist might tell me that samples are constantly delayed.

A nurse might tell me that patients get lost during referrals.

A doctor might tell me that patients keep returning with the same complications.

A pharmacist might tell me that essential medicines are frequently unavailable.

And here's where it gets interesting.

I wouldn't immediately ask, "Who is responsible?"

I'd ask:

"Why does this keep happening?"

Because that question takes us from blame to systems thinking.

Maybe the laboratory doesn't have a staffing problem. Maybe the workflow is inefficient.

Maybe the referral system doesn't have a communication problem. Maybe there is no functioning coordination mechanism.

Maybe patients aren't "non-compliant." Maybe the treatment is simply unaffordable.

Maybe healthcare workers aren't failing.

Maybe the system is making it unnecessarily difficult for good people to do good work.

And this is why I believe healthcare is one of the greatest classrooms for leadership.

A hospital teaches you that everything is connected.

The laboratory affects the doctor.

The pharmacy affects the patient.

The referral system affects the surgeon.

The supply chain affects the entire facility.

And leadership sits somewhere in the middle, trying to make all these pieces work together.

So if I had 30 minutes with a hospital staff member, I wouldn't spend all 30 minutes telling them how to do their job better.

I'd spend part of that time asking:

"What would you change if you had the power to change one thing?"

Because I believe some of the best solutions to our healt

DAY 27/30 — Sometimes, a health system gap begins with pain.

Recently, I saw someone mention a test that could help identify an indicator for endometriosis.

And I paused.

Because I've spent enough time thinking about endometriosis to understand how powerful something like that could be.

Imagine being a woman experiencing severe, recurring pain and not knowing exactly what's happening inside your body.

Imagine having to explain your pain repeatedly.

Imagine being told to wait, manage the symptoms, or simply endure it while you're still searching for answers.

And then I started thinking beyond my own experience.

How many women are suffering today because we still have gaps in early recognition, diagnosis, treatment, and access to care?

That is a health systems issue.

Because healthcare isn't only about what happens after a diagnosis.

It's also about:

Can we recognize the condition early?

Can patients access someone who understands their symptoms?

Can we afford the investigations?

Do healthcare professionals have the right training?

Are diagnostic tools available?

Are there researchers working on better ways to identify the disease?

And when we discover better approaches, can our health systems actually make them accessible to the women who need them?

This is why I keep saying:

Healthcare does not exist in isolation.

Sometimes, one person's pain is pointing us toward a much bigger gap in the system.

And perhaps that is where innovation begins.

Not with "What can I invent?"

But with:

"What are people suffering from that we have accepted as normal for far too long?"

I don't want another woman to simply learn how to live with unexplained pain because the system hasn't caught up yet.

I want us to keep asking better questions.

I want researchers to keep looking for better answers.

I want healthcare professionals to listen more closely.

And I want health systems that make those answers accessible when we find them.

Maybe resilience isn't only a

I cheated on my first love. 😂

And no, I'm not talking about a person.

I was madly in love with the idea of becoming a surgeon.

For years, I thought that was what my life was supposed to look like.

Then life happened.

I wrote the medical concours.

I failed.

By then, I was already in my second year studying Medical Laboratory Science, and honestly?

I was barely interested in it.

I was doing well academically, but mostly because I had this mentality that I had to be one of the best students.

MLS wasn't my dream.

It was just… what I was doing.

Then one day, a senior of mine had a conversation with me.

He asked:

“Why don't you give Medical Laboratory Science a little interest? You might actually fall in love with it.”

I probably didn't believe him.

But I tried.

And somehow…

he was right. 😂

I started looking at MLS differently.

I realized that medicine wasn't only about being the person standing beside the patient with a stethoscope or the person holding the scalpel.

There was another side of medicine I hadn't appreciated.

The laboratory could help uncover what the patient couldn't explain.

It could provide the clinical evidence behind a diagnosis.

It could help us understand disease processes.

It could help us detect problems early and, in many cases, contribute to preventing suffering before it became worse.

I began to understand the patient differently too.

Not just as a disease to treat, but as a person whose suffering we were trying to understand.

And somewhere along the way, I stopped mourning the surgeon I thought I was supposed to become.

I realized I hadn't missed my life.

I had simply found another way to live out my purpose in medicine.

Sometimes, what feels like a detour is actually an invitation to see your purpose from another angle.

I didn't become the surgeon I once dreamed of becoming.
But Medical Laboratory Science taught me something I may never have learned otherwise:
Medicine is bigger than the role you originally ima

When Passion Meets Purpose

Every year, thousands of students begin medical and health science school with excitement.

They picture themselves in white coats.
They imagine saving lives.
They dream of making their families proud.

Then, a few weeks or months later...

Reality arrives.

The lectures become overwhelming.
The anatomy atlas starts looking like a foreign language.
Practical sessions demand more than they expected.
Exams come one after another.
Sleep becomes a luxury.
And somewhere along the way, many quietly ask themselves,

"Did I choose the right profession?"

Here's what no one tells you:

The day your passion is tested is the day your purpose is revealed.

Passion is powerful—it gets you through the admission process.

But purpose is what carries you through the nights you want to quit, the exams you fail, the patients you lose, and the moments you question your ability.

This isn't just true in medicine.

It's true in research.
In leadership.
In business.
In ministry.
In every calling that leaves a lasting impact.

The people who make the greatest difference aren't always the most gifted or the most passionate.

They're the ones who refuse to give up when passion fades and purpose is all they have left.

So if you're in a season where the excitement has disappeared, don't assume you've lost your calling.

Maybe you've simply reached the point where purpose takes over.

Passion may have brought you here.
Purpose will determine whether you stay.

What's one moment in your journey when your purpose was stronger than your feelings?

Tuesday Reflection: When Pain Becomes Part of a Greater Story

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God..."
— Romans 8:28

When we think about God, we often think about the beautiful things — blessings, miracles, breakthroughs, and answered prayers.

But sometimes, God also works through the painful chapters we never would have chosen.

The truth is, some of the greatest impacts in history have come from moments of pain, loss, and uncertainty.

Henrietta Lacks’ story is one that makes us pause.

Henrietta was a young mother who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1951. During her treatment, cells from her tumor were collected and later became one of the most important tools in medical research. Those cells, known as HeLa cells, contributed to discoveries that helped advance research in areas such as vaccines, cancer studies, and many other fields of medicine.

One cannot help but wonder: if Henrietta had not faced that painful journey, if her cells had not been discovered, how many lives would not have been impacted by the scientific breakthroughs that followed?

Her story is a powerful reminder that our lives can carry purpose beyond what we can see.

It does not mean the pain she experienced was easy or that every circumstance was fair. Her story also reminds us of the importance of dignity, respect, ethics, and ensuring that every person behind a medical discovery is remembered.

But it shows us something profound:

God is not only present in the moments we celebrate. He can bring purpose out of moments we struggle to understand.

Jesus said He came “not to be served, but to serve.” And Henrietta Lacks’ story reminds us of how one life, even through circumstances she never imagined, became connected to the service and healing of millions.

May we never forget that behind every discovery is a person.
Behind every statistic is a story.
Behind every life is a purpose.

Today, I found myself asking a question.

What separates people who admire problems from those who solve them?

The more I learn about African health innovators, the more I realize they all have something in common.

They noticed a gap that everyone else had accepted as "normal."

Dr. Jean Lobé Lobé looked at healthcare access in Cameroon and built Waspito.

Melissa Bime looked at the challenge of finding blood during emergencies and built Infiuss Health.

They didn't start by asking, "What's trending around the world?"

They asked, "What does my community need?"

That shift in thinking has challenged me deeply.

As healthcare professionals, we often become experts at identifying problems. But what if we also became experts at designing solutions?

I'm beginning to believe that one of Africa's greatest resources isn't hidden beneath the ground.

It's the minds of Africans who understand our realities well enough to build solutions for them.

So I've decided to spend more time learning from African innovators—not just what they built, but how they think.

Because perhaps the next breakthrough in healthcare won't come from copying someone else's idea.

It will come from someone who cared enough to solve one problem, right where they were.

What gap have you noticed in your community that you wish someone would solve?

Your health is influenced not only by what you eat, but also by what you repeatedly think.

In Philippians 4:8, Paul writes:

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Our minds shape our choices.

The thoughts we entertain can influence stress levels, sleep quality, relationships, productivity, and even our willingness to seek medical care or maintain healthy habits.

This doesn't mean positive thinking replaces medicine or makes every illness disappear. Rather, it reminds us that caring for our minds is an important part of caring for our health.

Healthy living is not only about nourishing the body; it's also about cultivating thoughts that lead to wisdom, hope, gratitude, and peace.

Today, ask yourself:
What kind of thoughts am I feeding my mind?

One of the people whose mindset I've come to admire is Dr. Jean Lobé Lobé, the founder of Waspito.

What inspires me isn't simply that he built a health-tech company.

It's the way he thought.

Rather than asking, "What is the latest innovation from the West that we can copy?" he asked a different question:

"What problem are Cameroonians facing, and how can we build a solution for our context?"

That shift in thinking is profound.

Innovation isn't about creating the most sophisticated technology.

It's about deeply understanding the people you're serving.

The best solutions don't always come from importing ideas. They come from understanding local realities—our healthcare system, our communities, our infrastructure, our culture, and the everyday challenges people face.

The more I study health systems, the more convinced I become that Africa doesn't simply need more innovation.

We need contextual innovation.

Solutions designed with our realities in mind.

Solutions that work not only in theory, but in our villages, our cities, and our health facilities.

As someone passionate about health systems, leadership, and innovation, this is the kind of thinking I aspire to cultivate through Beyond Clinical Roles and the vision behind HILA (Healthcare Innovation & Leadership Academy).

We don't have to choose between learning from the world and serving our own communities.

We can learn globally and build locally.

That, to me, is where real impact begins.

There are people whose work changes the way you think.

For me, one of those people is Atul Gawande.

I genuinely love his work—not because he has all the answers, but because he saw a critical gap in medicine that many of us are never taught to see.

Medical school teaches us how to diagnose diseases.
It teaches us how to treat patients.
It teaches us how to save lives.

But who teaches us how to improve the system in which we practice?

Who teaches us why patients arrive too late?
Why essential medicines run out?
Why referrals fail?
Why a perfectly trained healthcare professional can still be unable to provide the care a patient deserves?

Atul Gawande reminds us that medicine isn't just about great clinicians. It's about building better systems.

One of my favorite quotes by him is:

«"Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try."»

That quote has stayed with me because it gives me hope.

We don't have to wait until we have the perfect hospital, the perfect policy, or unlimited resources before making a difference.

We simply need people who are willing to ask, "How can we make this better?"

That's the kind of healthcare professional I aspire to become.

It's also the vision behind my work through Beyond Clinical Roles and the dream I'm building with HILA (Healthcare Innovation &Leadership Academy)—raising healthcare professionals who don't just treat patients, but who improve the systems that care for them.

Here's to believing that better is always possible.

I almost didn't continue my 30-day series.

Not because I ran out of ideas, but because life got busy, and I quietly assumed no one had noticed.

Then someone reached out and asked, "Why didn't you finish the series?"

That simple message reminded me of something I'll never forget:

Impact is not always loud.

Just as the bible says in Galatians 6:9

"Let us not get tired in doing good, for just at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Sometimes the person who needs your work will never like your post.

They may never leave a comment.
They may never share it.

But they are reading.
They are learning.
They are waiting for the next post.

We often measure success by numbers, yet real influence is measured by the lives we touch, many of which we may never fully know.

So, thank you to the person who reminded me that consistency matters.

The series is back.

Day 27 drops today. 💙

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9
