During his 4 week visit to Uganda, Dr Bill Tams was invited to St Lawrence University Kampala to meet Sam Otile, head of the Public Health and Medical Records Dept. During the visit Dr Bill also met the Vice Chancellor Prof. Kakinda Frank Mbaaga. They were very interested in EMR4DW, how our system worked and how clinics had been using EMR4DW. Dr Bill give a demonstration to a number of students who came in specially for the meeting. They recognised electronic medical records as the future and Sam will be using EMR4DW in his teaching. The students are all working in different clinics in the area, which lack medical records. They were keen to take this knowledge with them when they return to their clinics.
EMR4DW is delighted to have this academic connection and look forward to developing this further.
