Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau (UPMB) is delighted to announce that we have been recognized as the winner of the Resilience and Sustainable Impact award in the Nongovernment Organisations and Association’s sector. This prestigious award, presented by the Institute of Corporate Governance of Uganda (ICGU) in collaboration with Grant Thornton, was received on October 18, 2024, a date that marks yet another milestone in our organization's journey. This accolade is a powerful testament to the unwavering commitment that UPMB has made to embedding strong corporate governance practices throughout its operations. It reflects our dedication to building sustainable structures that not only ensure organizational resilience but also create a lasting positive impact on the communities that we serve.

As we celebrate 62 years of freedom and progress, we honour the resilience, unity, and determination of the people of Uganda. This milestone reminds us of the journey we have travelled as a nation, overcoming challenges to achieve independence and steadily advancing towards a brighter future. In the spirit of this celebration, we also reflect on the incredible strides made in Uganda’s health sector. From strengthening health systems to improving access to quality healthcare, Uganda has made significant progress in promoting the well-being of its citizens. The health sector continues to be a pillar of our nation’s strength, supporting the fight against diseases, advancing maternal and child health, expanding family planning services, and scaling up treatment and prevention efforts for HIV, TB, and noncommunicable diseases. As we move forward, let us recommit to building a healthier and more prosperous Uganda for all. Together, we can ensure that every Ugandan has access to the care they deserve, and that our health sector remains a cornerstone of our nation's growth and resilience. Happy Independence Day, Uganda! Let us celebrate the progress we’ve made and the future we continue to build together. For God and My Country!

It is with profound sadness that the Board, Management, and Staff of UPMB announce the passing of our esteemed Board Chair, Canon Joram Kahenano. Canon Kahenano was an exemplary leader, distinguished by his unwavering dedication, integrity, and vision. Throughout his tenure, he guided UPMB with wisdom, compassion, and unwavering commitment. His legacy of selfless service and tireless advocacy will endure. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and the entire UPMB community. His absence will be deeply felt, and he will be sincerely missed. May his memory be a blessing to us all, and may his leadership and legacy continue to inspire us. Rest in Peace Canon Joram Kahenano

Proud of the UPMB team from the CDC-funded E-FACE Project for showcasing their impactful work in HIV/TB response across private not-for-profit health facilities in Kampala. They had the opportunity to share insights during a stakeholder meeting organized by Reachout Mbuya and Kampala Capital City Authority. Collaboration and knowledge sharing like this are key to advancing healthcare outcomes in our communities. #HealthcareInnovation #HIV #TB #PublicHealth #Collaboration

At the recently concluded AIDS 2024, 25th International AIDS Conference in Germany, we further affirmed to #PutPeopleFirst . Now see what makes #Rushere Community Hospital a unique health facility in offering patient centered care in rural #Uganda thru the OPD-HIV Clinic integrated model. We held a 5-days training for everybody in the facility on HIV care because we believe that everyone has a role to play in offering patient centered care at the facility and in the community, even the hospital farm staff have to know about the HIV care and prevention services offered at the facility. We're forever grateful to USAID through Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau and UHA for the continued support to the HIV Clinic and the facility at large...you've been instrumental as we implement the OPD-HIV Clinic integrated model. We're grateful for your facilitation to this training. As the Head of the HIV Clinic, I can't thank you more. Btw, can you see the beautiful structures and the green cover even in a dry season? All these give a conducive environment for continuous learning and serving our community. The interactive nature of the training through group discussions shows the staff commitment to learning from local and regional mentors as well as facilitators from the Ministry of Health - Uganda

Kigezi, Uganda – [27th & 28th August 2024] – The picturesque hills of Kisoro were abuzz with excitement as healthcare leaders, practitioners, and stakeholders gathered for the much-anticipated Kigezi Regional Annual Health Sector Joint Performance Review Mission. Organized by the Kabale Regional Referral Hospital with support from USAID Uganda Health Activity, USAID Local Service Delivery for HIV/AIDS and other regional mechanisms, the assembly served as a platform to discuss pressing health issues, share innovative practices, and celebrate the outstanding achievements of healthcare facilities in the region. The Ministry of Health together with Kabale Regional Referral Hospital recognized Rugarama Hospital for its outstanding performance and exceptional commitment to providing top quality healthcare services in the region. Rugarama Hospital emerged as the best facility during the patient satisfaction survey conducted by the Ministry of Health in financial year 2023/2024. Rugarama Hospital is among the 330-member health facilities under the Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau network. The facility is also a recipient of the USAID Local Service Delivery for HIV/AIDS activity grant to provide comprehensive HIV and TB services in Kigezi region.

What a great opportunity to network and bring to public the good work that the Eastern regional team are doing at PNFP Health facilities. Kudos UPMB Eastern Regional team.

Managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) effectively requires us to understand the complex relationships between different diseases and the importance of a unified healthcare approach. Following discussions on the burden of NCDs during the 77th World Health Assembly with global leaders and stakeholders, I am thrilled to share a major development in our mission to advance health equity in Africa and beyond. AstraZeneca , in partnership with Ministry of Health - Uganda and the Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau , is expanding the Healthy Heart Africa programme to tackle the challenges presented by chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, and other cardiovascular conditions in Uganda. Our expanded effort is designed to bolster early detection and intervention, improve healthcare provider training, and raise community awareness. By establishing a strong healthcare ecosystem that recognizes the interconnected nature of NCDs, our objective is to enhance the quality of life for individuals throughout Uganda. #HealthyHeartAfrica #CKDAwareness #HealthcareForAll #TogetherforEquitableCare Deepak Arora Qutaiba Al Manaseer Imran Rasheed MD, MBBS, MBA Margaret Kigwe Nelson Ochieng Asa Skiti Maria Nauss
