Health Reporting
Conte has really done to the extent that he made health reporting a reality even in rural parts of Uganda where some of us freely interacted with him and shared his vast wisdom on health issues, i believe i will meet him again. Patson in Kanungu district, Uganda
We are indebated
I am greatly indebted to Chris Conte for the training and mentorship he passed onto me. I am a better and knowledgeable health reporter partly because of Chris. He came to Uganda when I was only starting on the health desk and his training and supervision helped me grow into a better. The three years he spent here are so little in fact I envied the journalists in India who were taking him away from us. I hope and pray that I can cross his path again in my journalism career because I know I can learn much more for him. Chris you are something else.
