Community brings a sense of connectedness and leads to formation of social networks that are later helpful in an individual's life. No man is an Island.

Lorraine is a Pharmacist from Kampala, Uganda. She completed her undergraduate studies at Mbarara University of Science and Technology. While in college, she conducted a study on the perceptions of pharmacy users to pharmaceutical care; the study highlighted the need for improving the pharmaceutical care package by provision of patient information to clients in sampled pharmacies in the town of Ntinda. Lorraine completed a yearlong internship with Mulago Hospital in 2012. During her internship, she helped improve the availability of medicines at user wards by timely replenishment of stock levels to avoid stock outs of vital medicines. Prior to joining GHC, she worked at the Infectious Diseases Institute in the Pharmacy Department Outreach Programme as a logistics officer and also worked part-time providing pharmaceutical care to clients at Kadic Hospital.
