On this week’s episode of The Long Form podcast, our host Sanny Ntayombya is joined by Dr. Edgar Kalimba, a renowned pediatrician, to discuss how parents, especially fathers, can play an active role in raising children to be happy, healthy and confident.

"When a father is present physically and emotionally, it adds value to the child’s life. It improves self-worth, self-confidence and cognitive skills” says Dr Kalimba.

The former Acting CEO of King Faisal Hospital, the largest hospital in Rwanda, also reveals how personal tragedy inspired him to specialize in pediatrics.
