Zambia, we lost a being to COVID-19 who not only was saving lives but invested all his life to this.
Did you know that 1 Zambian Doctor services 10 to 13 thousand Zambians? THREAD in memory of Dr Mulwanda Edwin. 🖤🇿🇲🕊️

#ZedTwitter
One doctor’s death in Zambia is a loss to more than 10,000 Zambians. In Zambia decisions of life and death were already being made on a daily basis in standard healthcare, due to lack of resources. 1/14
Zambia’s healthcare system is overburdened. Pre-COVID-19 we had barriers/challenges, COVID-19 came & now saying: 'we are overwhelmed,' is an understatement. The narrative is often: “There is nothing much we can do” versus “We did everything in our ability to save this life" 2/14

Look at Dr Sompwe Chanda Shine.

A thread.
I have known many people say, when you practice charity, donot let others know. Do it in private, it's not a show. Or that many people do it just for the millage. Well, for me, outreaches hold a lot of value. And sharing my experiences add to that value. 1/6
Meet Dr Sompwe, who has a passion in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics. She is an Anesthesia specialist at UTH but in her free time apart from ZOCA, she promote STEM in communities. 2/6

"I think I’m one of many in my generation suffering from ‘millennial burnout’. This is not currently a recognised medical condition, and there are no specific stats for it, but many of us are so stressed we’ve been unable to cope." A thread.
"I don’t remember the last time I relaxed. Honestly? I don’t know how to. Every time I try to read a book or watch TV, I think about what I have to do next, or my ‘to-do’ list flashes before my eyes."
"My brain never stops. I’m constantly on hyper-alert about the things I should be doing – but just can’t bring myself to do. And this stress has disrupted my sleep and led me to have mild insomnia." #MillennialBurnout
