The National Library of Uganda: Challenges Faced in Performing Its Institutional Practices
University of Nebraska - Lincoln DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal) Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln Spring 2-23-2021 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices Jane Kawalya [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac Part of the Library and Information Science Commons Kawalya, Jane, "The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices" (2021). Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 5073. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/5073 The National Library Of Uganda: Challenges Faced In Performing Its Institutional Practices By Jane Kawalya (PhD) 1.0 BACKGROUND The idea of establishing the NLU started in 1997. Kawalya (2009) identified several factors which led to the establishment of the NLU. Before the enactment of the National Library Act 2003, Uganda had a national library system composed of Makerere University Library (MULIB) and the Deposit Library and Documentation Center (DLDC), which were performing the functions of a national library. Meanwhile the Public Libraries Board (PLB) was performing the functions of a national library service. However, due to the decentralization of services, according to the Local Government Act 1997, the Public Libraries Act 1964 was repealed thus weakening the PLB. The public libraries were taken over by the districts which left the PLB with few functions. There was therefore a need for an institution to take over important functions which had been carried out by the PLB. It was also realized that the few responsibilities would lead to the retrenchment of the PLB staff at the headquarters. -

Uganda Leadership Pioneers Cohort 1: AMR BACKGROUND: UGANDA LEADERSHIP PIONEERS
Uganda Leadership Pioneers Cohort 1: AMR BACKGROUND: UGANDA LEADERSHIP PIONEERS The Uganda Leadership Pioneers programme is the first of its kind in Uganda; developing leaders at the frontline of the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to drive change at their health facilities. In February 2020, 16 leaders from the public sectors in Uganda and the UK came together for a five day workshop to develop their leadership skills and co-create low cost innovation ideas to combat AMR. In teams, professionals from the National Health Service (NHS) UK, Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation Uganda and five hospitals in Rwenzori Region received leadership training from the Cross Sector Leadership Exchange (CSLE), and visited 29 health facilities across the region to understand the day-to-day challenges AMR places on the Ugandan health system. The teams developed robust action plans to improve AMR stewardship across five hospitals, which received endorsement from five District Health Officers and four Medical Superintendents during a productive presentation and brainstorm session on the final day of the workshop. When implemented, the action plans will place these five hospitals as forerunners in the fight against AMR in Uganda. “As a leader, I am inspired to find solutions, solutions I can work on and inspire others to believe in. We need to leverage what we have to achieve the solutions we want to achieve; we have to be pioneers. ” - Dr. Simon Seguya, Pharmacist, Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital THE CONTEXT: AMR IN UGANDA “Without urgent, coordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post- antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill.” ~ Dr Keiji Fukuda, WHO Assistant Director-General for Health Security Antimicrobial resistance is a growing health threat globally. -

Box 7083 2 The Blessings of Medicine? Patient Characteristics and Health Outcomes in a Ugandan Mission Hospital, 1908-1970*† Shane Doyle (University of Leeds) Felix Meier zu Selhausen (University of Sussex) Jacob Weisdorf (University of Southern Denmark) Abstract: This paper sheds new light on the impact and experience of western biomedicine in colonial Africa. We use patient registers from Western Uganda’s earliest mission hospital to explore whether and how Christian conversion and mission education affected African health behaviour. A dataset of 18,600 admissions permits analysis of patients’ age, sex, residence, religion, diagnoses, duration of hospitalisation, and treatment outcomes. We document Toro Hospital’s substantial geographic reach, trace evolving treatment practices, and highlight significant variation in hospital-based disease incidence between the early colonial and early postcolonial periods. We observe no relationship between numeracy and health outcomes, nor religion-specific effects concerning hygiene-related infections. Christian conversion was associated with superior cure rates and shorter length of stay, and with lower incidence of skin diseases and sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). -
