BACKGROUND
I grew up in a family of ten members in Eastern Uganda were my dad was a primary school teacher who retired in 2015 and my mother is a peasant. I studied my primary in a government school where I got a first grade. Because of this, I was given a half bursary to study lower secondary and later another half bursary after getting a first grade for my upper secondary. I failed to join university for medicine on the government merit and was given this coarse on private. Despite being the fourth born, I am the only person who has reached a university level education in my family. My three elder siblings dropped out of school and married while my three of my younger siblings are still in school.
WHY Medicine & Health
Through learning first aid during my scouting training where I could at least save some lives with little medical knowledge, I was motivated to study medicine so that I can expand knowledge in medicine and save more people with different medical conditions. The other inspirational reason is the fact that most people who visit a government hospital in Uganda rarely have a chance to be seen by a doctor in a rural setting. I was challenged to study medicine and impact change in these rural areas. My dream job is working in a self founded hospital in a rural setting with team based care to keep the population in good health. It should be organized and purposeful where all staff must be moving towards a common goal. The hospital should also have good diagnostic and treatment equipment to effectively diagnose and treat people at affordable prices to reduce expenses on their medical care.
INTERESTS
I like playing with children, teaching my community about good health practices and swimming.
