    Missionary Medicine and Primary/Universal Health Care: The Case of Uganda Dr Shane Doyle University of Leeds Healthcare for all? • Can effective healthcare be provided at low cost to the bulk of the population even in poor countries? • Do mission institutions have a role to play in Recovering children with mothers in a pediatric malaria ward in Butare. Photograph: David Evans/National the provision of Geographic/Getty Images universal elementary healthcare and preventive services? 2 Was missionary medicine primarily ‘a tool for evangelization’ (J. McCracken) • Medical mission: • ‘used as heavy artillery . in the less responsive fields (H. Lankester) • ‘has to treat the physical problem of suffering and disease, and it has to deal with the spiritual and moral problem of sin’ (A. Cook) Or was medical mission penitential? • For Albert Schweitzer medical mission was a means of righting ‘the injustice and cruelties that in the course of centuries [Africans] have suffered at the hands of Europeans’ Is missionary medicine compatible with universal and primary healthcare? Mission healthcare may seem to policy-makers to provide a structural obstacle to the integration, coordination and consistency implied by universal health coverage. Whereas Universal and Primary Healthcare have a focus on the community, on prevention, mission medicine by reputation focuses on the curative, on the individual, and on its own adherents. Medical mission focused on groups which were defined as particularly vulnerable, or especially important to the religious aims of the mission. • Missions concentrated on relief for disadvantaged groups such as lepers, the blind and the crippled, ‘biblical manifestations of disease and misery’.

Tech. and Development, Southern University (USA) [email protected] Abstract. Telemedicine has become a method of choice for improved access to quality healthcare services world over. The technology, which has been used for decades in the developed world, is now being diffused to developing countries. However, many initiatives have not lived to their expectations. In this paper, we present some of the main hindrances to telemedicine adoption, implementation and sustainability in Uganda. Case studies were carried out in two hospitals that have attempted to use the technology. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to collect and analyze the data. Our findings indicate that the key factors affecting telemedicine in Uganda were lack of telemedicine policy, knowledge and skills and resistance to change by members of staff in the hospitals. A discussion of the findings inline with some selected technology adoption theories and models is done. We have also identified and discussed the key requirements for sustainable telemedicine in Uganda. 1 Stephen R.

  • Slum Settlement Profile Comes at an Opportune Time – a Time When the City of Kampala Is Experiencing Unprecedented Growth in the History of Uganda
    FOREWORD This Slum Settlement Profile comes at an opportune time – a time when the city of Kampala is experiencing unprecedented growth in the history of Uganda. This growth and expansion is visible through the mushrooming of informal settlements across the different divisions of Kampala, especially in the low-lying areas of the city. This expansion has definitely exerted enormous pressure on land, with the poor occupying open spaces and the rich pushing the poor out of settlements for commercial and more formalised developments. The urban infrastructure (services and utilities) has not been spared as many residents demand for better quality water, sewer/ sanitation facilities, electricity, roads, security, and proper solid waste management systems. While the city still grapples with serving the existing communities, there are thousands that are flocking to the city in search of employment opportunities and better services. The invisible challenge for both the city and the communities has been lack of data/ information concerning the informal settlements, leading to a very wide gap between the plans and the priorities for the slum residents. The variables looked at in this Slum Profile include, among other factors, Security of Tenure, Housing, Water and Sanitation, Economic Activities, Accessibility, Drainage, and Solid Waste Management. Perhaps, the most outstanding and profound aspect is that this Slum Profile is not a collection of information from lawyers, teachers, doctors, or academicians, but rather ideas from the real slum dwellers who interface with the day-to- day challenges of slum life.
