Egwuda who is also IVF Specialist 
Minimal Access Surgeon 
Head of Assisted Reproductive Technology @ alps hospitals and diagnostics, Jos, plateau state
 shed his thoughts while delivering lecture titled " Evolution 2.0: The future of medical science and the role of the players" held on Thursday at University of Jos Multipurpose Hall.

The lecture was organized by the Natural Science students Association (NASSA) in collaboration with Medical Science students University of Jos.

According to him:" evolution 2.0 is just an acronym to tell those students in biological and Natural sciences that the medicine we are seeing today is more of a collaborative medicine, and it is not in the hands of one person like Doctor or Nurse but it is a collaborative work. 

And we equally see that there are a lot of students in microbiology, Chemistry or even physics who don't know what is obtainable for them, and having realized that there are Lab scientist and biochemistry who are coming from the field of chemistry, microbiology or even physics.
My aspiration is to ensure irrespective of sex or gender we put our heads together with the support of international organizations and the government so that we can achieve a mile stone in medicine.

I am advocating for collaborative medicine as the way forward! So how is doctor work if there is no the Physics and medical engineers to produce the machines that needs to work. So is all about collaboration and one man cannot be the star! One man can come a star together and at end of the day one man will take a prize but is a collaborative effort.

The lecture is all about medical evolution where we are, where we have been and where we are projected to be because the world is changing and the environment is also changing and there is a need to look at man in totality in respect to the environmental changes.

The lectures is to bring us to per with what is happening in the international societies, taking the treatment of one disease by the genetic make up of the man, and the treatment can be better if the make up of the man could be done with what I referred to as a book of life which is the DNA. 
Professor E. I. Ike Dean college of sciences university of Jos said the programme is timely as medicine is rapidly evolving globally.

He said such thoughts learned will go a long way in sharpened students knowledge in their academic pursuits.
