Meeting him in his hospital garb, Dr Moses Wamwatila blends in easily as your everyday doctor on a mission to make people's lives better. When he changes to his black trousers, white shirt and black tie, the aviation enthusiast comes to life.

She couldn't understand how after making it as a doctor, I was thinking of something else. But I explained I like charting my own path and doing things not the way other people do them".
