“A reflection: As we edge towards the month of March 2014, means that I have successfully completed one year in office as the DG of Health. Take a moment and reflect on what we have and have not accomplished. Take a moment to take stock of what has happened thus far and learn regretful events so as not to repeat them in future. I believe in the system and believe in leading the healthcare transformation, sharing the vision and mission of Ministry of Health. I would like to thank you all for the continuous support and the opportunity to dare to make a difference to serve the country.
A video reflection is worth a million words and let us reflect and share together our one year journey for better health.”
