HOW TO BECOME AU HEALTH CHAMPION

Campaign with a PICC line in one arm.
Spend one week every month at the
Hôpital des Maladies Inconnues, Paris, France, or
Hospital for Unknown Illnesses, Paris, France.

Shake all the way to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Causing usual turbulence in the aircraft.
Turbulence mistaken for air turbulence
And keeping his aides on pins and needles.

A Health Champion without hospitals
In his home country.
A Health Champion whose country has
Horrible health indices and low life expectancy.

After the current Health Champion,
Africa’s next Health Champion will be
A 90-year-old Dictator in a wheelchair
And hugging oxygen cylinders for breathing.
