From honouring 15 book authors in Nairobi and recognising research contributions in Uganda, to launching a neonatal care textbook in Tanzania and exploring the power of storytelling in Karachi, the celebrations showcased the many ways AKU authors create and share knowledge.

#AKUAuthorsDay also saw the launch of Pages from AKU – Stories of our Own and The Emergency Department Leaders Playbook, alongside conversations on research, leadership, clinical practice and the human experiences behind stories.

Behind every published work is an idea or a discovery with the potential to make a difference.

On November 2, AKU celebrated Authors Day, bringing together authors, researchers, faculty and students across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Pakistan.
