https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bukolas-story-one-too-many-mothers-aduragbemi... Happy Monday, Following Bukola's story reminds me that prevention is better than cure. As the assistive features are deliberated upon, some and perhaps many of the disability cases may be preventable at birth. May the deliberations feed-forward too into prevention rather than reactive mode, even if this is not a medical convention. The goal should be "no-need for assistive devices for a generation to come". PS: An illustration of what makes "Digi", complex to an "analogue-ish" public The email address provided to give feedback is too complex for ease of use! with hyphens, short forms. Have insightful deliberations, feedback and feed-forward. Blessed day.
