"As an innovator, my advice to you is that you should be resilient & be willing to learn & unlearn. There are new and emerging technologies every day. Don't also forget that partnership is key. It is very difficult to go down this road alone - Dr. William Wasswa, inventor PapsAI

The best time to engage innovators is when the ideas have just surfaced. This allows us to interact. We share the problems that need fixing. Sometimes the innovators solve a problem and we put it aside, raising another problem that we feel is pending – Paul Mbaka. Ministry of Health- Uganda
