Book launch: From Adversity to Impact: Dr. Ekure Invites Ugandans to "Be More" 

Imagine rising from the dust of rural Uganda, defying immense odds, and building one of the region's most respected orthopaedic centers—all while dedicating your life to healing bodies, inspiring minds, and uplifting communities. That is the remarkable story of Dr. John Ekure, fondly known as "The Bone Doctor from Kumi."

On Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 4:00 PM in the prestigious Nile Hall at Hotel Africana, Kampala, Dr. Ekure will officially launch his newest book: We Can Be More: The Courage to Grow, The Strength to Rise.

This isn't just another book event—it's a rallying cry for personal transformation, a celebration of resilience, and a direct opportunity to support meaningful change.

In We Can Be More, Dr. Ekure—founder and director of the renowned Kumi Orthopaedic Centre—shares hard-earned wisdom from his extraordinary journey. From humble beginnings in the Teso region to becoming a leading expert in orthopaedics, trauma, and spine surgery, he proves that true greatness isn't about talent alone. It demands:

Clarity of purpose, Relentless action, Unwavering discipline, Courage to chase bold ideas, and Humility to learn from every setback

He reminds us: "True strength is found in service, and a meaningful legacy is measured not by recognition but by contribution." With quiet persistence and the willingness to start—even imperfectly—anyone can grow beyond survival, impact lives, and truly be more.

This marks Dr. Ekure's third major work, following the acclaimed memoir Undeterred (detailing the founding of Kumi Orthopaedic Centre amid adversity) and Changing Our World (a passionate call to service-driven transformation). A respected motivational speaker, youth advocate, and member of Uganda’s National Environment Management Authority, he champions wetland conservation, sustainable practices, servant leadership through Lions Clubs International, and innovation among the next generation.

Even President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has hailed him as "an entrepreneur with spectacles that see far—one who turned tragedy into triumph and rose to shape lives and systems with vision."

The evening promises rich dialogue on personal growth, resilience, and purposeful living—plus an inspiring atmosphere of reflection and commitment. More importantly, your presence directly supports the Elizabeth Opola Foundation, named in honor of Dr. Ekure's late mother. The foundation sponsors tertiary education for underprivileged youth, equips them with skills, and advances environmental initiatives—turning stories of hardship into futures of hope.

This launch is your invitation to move from spectator to supporter. Come not just to witness history—come to invest in it. Attend, engage, purchase the book, and leave knowing you've helped write the next chapter for young Ugandans who deserve a chance to rise.
