I love reflections!

Today is the last day of 2024—tomorrow will be the first day of 2025—and this is my final article on Care City for 2024.

The next time I write to you will be next year, and I am glad you’re here to read my last article for 2024 and you’ll be there to read my first in 2025.

As the year slowly comes to an end and we gradually start to prepare for the next, you will agree with me that it has been an interesting journey!

For us at Care City (Care City Media Ltd), it has been a year of unprecedented growth and expansion—learning, exploring new territories, making some mistakes and making new friends.

To be candid, 2024 has been our most productive year so far as a brand! It has also been one of my most productive years, too—personally.  

I learnt a lot about leadership this year. A lot! And I have documented most of what I have learned in my writing, especially on Substack.

This year, we were able to build a very solid team of leaders.

You see, it has taken me about 3 to 4 years to finally settle with the team we’ve on the ground now, and I have matured to a level as a leader where I can easily perceive the potential in the people I lead or work with me and be patient enough to walk with them until they also begin to mature.

The team we’ve now will form part of the foundation of Care City Media.

As 2024 shuts its gates forever! As we prepare for the New Year celebrations, and for those still working (like me), it’s important to take some time to acknowledge and celebrate the big and small wins, the lessons learnt, and, most importantly, the community we’re building.

You, my friends, have been a big part of our community here at Care City. Over the past months, we’ve shared hundreds of articles, content and newsletters with you.

I hope you’ve learned some things that have been useful for you in building the spirit and mindset of leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship as a healthcare professional and as anybody else (I know healthcare professionals are not the only ones who consume our content).

If you’ve been touched in one way or another this year by what we’re doing here, you can write me directly here: daniel.ayinla@carecityonline.com. I really want to hear from you.

We continued writing and publishing into the new year.

No breaks? I hear you say!

Well, if Forbes, The Washington Post, New York Times, Fortune, and other big digital publishing platforms are not going on break and halting publication during the holidays, then we don’t have any business saying we’re going on any break!

Publications will continue going out via all our digital channels—websites, social media, and newsletters, and soon, we will be working really hard to revive our old YouTube channel—that old channel🤭.

A Quick Peek Into Our Plans For Next Year

Boy, we’ve got a lot of plans for next year! A lot.

We’re working tirelessly to position Care City (Care City Media Ltd is our official and registered company name) as an emerging healthcare media brand to look out for in Africa.

There’s a big gap in healthcare media in Africa, and we want to cover that gap.

We want to tell the stories of innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship in Africa’s healthcare ecosystem. We want to inspire healthcare professionals in Africa to do more, and we want to build innovative healthcare communities and build healthy communities for people through our social outreaches.

Next year, we’ll be investing a lot in webinars, seminars and workshops (both virtual and physical) for healthcare professionals who want to build capacity in leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship. We’re already ready for our January Healthcare Leadership And Innovation Webinar. Learn more here and quickly save your spot here (we’ve got a free gift for early registrants).

Our mission is to build innovative healthcare communities in Africa (and globally) using the power of the media!

You are part of this journey; without you, we can do nothing.

Stepping Into The Realm Of Social And Community Outreaches

We are also excited to inform our community that we’re going full force into the field of outreaches next year.

We opened the door to outreaches this year with our end-of-the-year medical and welfare outreach, which was an outstanding success.

Next year, it will be bigger and more impactful!

We welcome sponsors and partners who share our vision of impacting communities to join us in making the world a better place.

Send us a message here: info@carecityonline.com, and let us know how you want to work with us in our outreach endeavours.

Launching Events

We’re also launching our events, with the first one in January. We’re starting with a very important global discussion—the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

January will focus on AI in healthcare.

If you’re a healthcare professional and do not know anything about AI, this is your chance to learn about artificial intelligence and its use in healthcare.

We’ll create a lot of “AI In Healthcare” focused content throughout January. If you follow us closely by the end of January, you should have learned the basics of AI and its use/role in improving healthcare practice and delivery.

Our Contributor And Guest Post Programme

We started our contributor and guest post programme this year with this guest post from Oyita Great. Next year, we’re expanding to include more leaders, experts, innovators and entrepreneurs in the healthcare ecosystem who will be sharing their ideas and expertise.

You can become one of our contributors or guest authors.

Find out more here and the benefits.

Our Media Partner Programme

If you want to expand the reach of your healthcare brand or business, our media partner programme is the right place for you, and next year, we’ll be investing more in it to ensure our partners get more value from working with us.

Final Words In 2024

You’re built for more.

If you were afraid to explore in 2024.

If you held back and hesitated.

In 2025, you’ve another 365 days to dare to do more.

Dare to jump, climb, learn, do and become the best version of yourself.

Dare to fail, make mistakes, cry, fall, feel pain and learn from every little experience.

I am already pumped up and burning within with excitement about what 2025 has to offer me as a person and Care City Media as a growing healthcare brand!

See you in 2025!

Happy New Year In Advance!

Be Inspired To Do More…
