Rwandair! A flight scheduled for 7pm from Arusha to Kigali was rescheduled to 3am and we had to first be taken to Dar elsalam, kigali, Nairobi then finally Entebbe!! got to Uganda a day later!
Atleast yours was delayed by just 7 hours, our flight which was scheduled to be at 6:30pm got delayed to 7:50pm then 9:50pm then 10:50pm then finally canceled without any explanation. It was a terrible experience. @FlyRwandAir you need to get more organized. Kigali is a nice city
Surviving TB is an extreme sport in Uganda. Save the date for this talk. @Lung_Institute @EmoryUniversity @Emory_TB_Center.
Beautiful city with lots of clean, pedestrian-friendly, green spaces. If only @FlyRwandAir could be more organized and keep on schedule! Delaying flights by 7 solid hours tests anybody's patience and is not aligned with the dream of Africa.

When medical, nursing &pharmacy interns aren't deployed for 2 yrs, national & municipal ambulance services, rapid response call centres & patient referral system aren't in place, why should @GovUganda prioritise cultural leaders? @mofpedU @Parliament_Ug @MinofHealthUG @matia
From the podium through sideline meetings, to cross-generational scientific interactions @iasociety 2025 . So much activity.
