The Unseen Scars: A Male Nurse’s Struggle in Uganda by Solomon Mpanga
They Called Us “Failed Men” – Until the System Failed Without Us
In the heart of Uganda’s overwhelmed hospitals, a silent crisis rages—one of stigma, sacrifice, and systemic neglect. The Unseen Scars is a raw, unflinching memoir that pulls back the curtain on the untold struggles of male nurses in a profession that views them as outcasts.
Solomon Mpanga—a veteran nurse with over a decade of frontline experience—takes you inside the wards where:
- Gender bias forces male nurses to prove their worth daily
- Poverty wages leave healers unable to afford their own medical care
- False accusations of misconduct hang like swords over careers
- Sleep-deprived heroes make life-or-death decisions on 36-hour shifts

- Heart-Stopping Stories: From delivering babies in boda-boda ambulances to reusing gloves during Ebola outbreaks
- Scientific Revelations: How chronic workplace discrimination physically rewires brains (backed by Harvard neuroscience studies)
- Political Firebombs: Exposes how millions in healthcare funds vanish while nurses ration supplies
