Know Your Genotype!!!

Little Abdul was born into a world of hope and joy, but behind his first cries was a battle waiting to begin. Diagnosed with sickle cell anemia, his life became a constant cycle of pain, hospital visits, and sleepless nights. His parents, filled with love and desperation, spent everything they had to ease his suffering. The family’s life savings vanished in a blink, poured into countless treatments and medications. Yet, despite all their sacrifices, Abdul’s fragile body couldn’t bear the weight of the disease. At just eight years old, the little fighter took his last breath, leaving his parents shattered and burdened with guilt. The pain didn’t end there. The parents carried a haunting regret—they had never checked their genotypes before marriage. In their love, they overlooked a crucial step, and now they bore the scars of a loss they could have prevented. Abdul’s story is not just theirs; it’s the untold pain of countless families who suffer the devastating effects of sickle cell ane...

A DAY BEYOND MICROSCOPE!

A Day Beyond the Microscope! Yesterday, we embarked on a transformative journey at the MedLab Horizon program, hosted at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano State. This event was a perfect blend of training and inspiration, equipping participants with essential skills through Basic Life Support (BLS) training, including CPR and choking management. A key highlight was the thought-provoking presentation by Mubarak S. Bgw, "Beyond the Microscope: Unlocking Billion Naira Opportunities in Health Entrepreneurship," which left us inspired and motivated to think bigger and act bolder in the healthcare industry. This program wasn’t just an event; it was a movement to reshape perspectives, spark innovation, and encourage us to look beyond the laboratory bench and into the vast world of opportunities that lie ahead. ๐ŸŒ I was also privileged to meet some amazing personalities, including: Prof Isah Abubakar Aliyu, Hamza Abdullahi, Abdullahi Abubakar, Haleemah Abdulaziz, Abdulha...

WEDDING BELLS.

29th December, 2024. Wedding Bells๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ””  This year has been a season of weddings, with love blossoming everywhere. But this week? It felt like an endless festival of unions! Thousands have married, and the streets are buzzing with celebrations. Drums echoed, hennaed hands glimmered, and smile were shared in every corner. Walking around, you’d think it was Sallah with every corner dressed in joy and jubilation. And here I am, still unattached, quietly admiring my innocent crush from afar. It’s funny, really—almost everyone seems to have joined the marriage club this weekend except the two of us. But there’s no rush, and I’m perfectly content where I am. Timing is everything, isn’t it? May Allah bless all the new unions and grant them endless joy. As for me, I’m just enjoying the ride for now—no wedding bells in sight, and that’s perfectly fine.

End of the year message 2024.

End of the year message by Salisu Musa Rabiu   31st December, 2024. This year has been a journey of growth, reflection, and resilience. While there were moments of achievement that brought joy and pride, the challenges I faced often seemed overwhelming. These challenges tested my strength and patience, pushing me to dig deeper and discover resilience I didn’t know I had.  Despite the hurdles, there were significant strides in personal and professional growth that I’m truly grateful for. Each achievement, no matter how small, became a reminder that progress is possible even in the face of adversity. The difficulties I encountered came with tough lessons that reshaped my perspective on life. They taught me the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and the value of leaning on loved ones for support. Looking back, I see not just the struggles but also the victories that came from pushing through them.  As the year ends, I carry forward these lessons and a renewed dete...
