Interviewing From the Shores of Lake Victoria with @child2youthfoundation754
📍 Recorded on-site in rural Uganda
When medicine strips away the noise—no EMR, no prior auths, no endless bureaucracy—what’s left is its soul. In this special episode, Dr. Peter Crane brings you inside a medical mission to Uganda with the Child to Youth Foundation, where healthcare meets humanity on the shores of Lake Victoria.

🩺 Dr. Angela McKellar – An ER doctor rediscovering her “why”
🩺 Steven Ssenyonjo – Founder and Director of Child2Youth Foundation
🩺 Maureen – A clinical officer on the frontlines of rural care
