Kenya Airways @KenyaAirways Normally assumes everyone is a career idler and will delay and postpone flights unapologetically. Have a 24-48 hour cushion when using them or avoid if you can

The new careless drivers in town are the small PSV Uber and Bolt drivers. They are soon dethroning matatus and boda boda . Keep a safe distance when you spot them. @Ma3Route

When Dr Isaack Abdi got sick as a child, his mother would take him to a local district hospital for treatment. Little did he know that the frequent visits to Moyale District Hospital would ignite in him a passion for medicine.​ Read more https://t.co/aORJzJAWBR

Nasendoscopy is such a useful skill, here I’m performing the procedure on @hbportsmouth during her airway fellowship. Agree with Declan Costello easier from the front #vDAS2021
