The All Ireland Pollinator Plan should include maps of protected areas for wild bees so that honeybee colonies are limited. Needs buy in from beekeepers ⁦@FIBKA_IE⁩ Bee hotels are a misplaced attempt to help nature

We do need a single interconnected healthcare system that does away with the old division of public and private. It should be a universal insurance based model with good base healthcare for all. Higher levels of cover for those that can afford higher insurance premiums. The patient should be at the centre of all activity.

@CiaranCuffe Agree but what’s the cost and time difference? Time costs money

All getting very real. Hope to be in Kenya next week to help commission the new Transcend Eye Hospital. Excited about this new venture and hopefully new partnership between Kenyan and Irish ophthalmology @eyedoctorsIRL @UCDMedicine @RCSI_Irl @weskorir

@HelenORahilly Have you thought of a smaller acute hospital like James Connolly Memorial/ Blanch?

@qualann Yes, it’s pretty big. This is just the beginning. We are doing the first operations there this month. @weskorir has done huge work getting it up and running. We are hoping this is the beginning of lots of future projects with Ireland.

@qualann Just advanced cataracts, old and not so old.

I’m expecting a different range of eye conditions to here..lots of advanced cataracts but also more glaucoma, less AMD, more diabetic retinopathy, some TB related eye disease. This will be the start of a long future collaboration I hope. My eye colleagues here are interested and hopefully Kenyan eye doctors can come over here for fellowship specialty training.

@qualann No I have not been to Kenya before. I have worked on similar projects in Cameroon, India and Bangladesh with ORBIS. The new hospital was built by a charity called Fiat Lux and c-founded by Wesley Korir, recent MP and elite runner, and Dr Tom Tayeri, a US based eye colleague.

@nmlinguaphile Wow that’s a nice BMI to aim for. Keep up the running and the lifting.

@Iobey10 Thank you my anonymous friend. I have learnt a bit. It seems name recognition counts for a very big chunk of votes.
