Picture shows Julius our Senior Ambassador in Uganda training clinic staff

All at EMR4DW share the excitement of staff at Bietrice Tierney Clinic in Uganda to have electronic medical records restarted. The clinic is run by our partner organisation, from the USA, Arlington Academy of Hope (AAH). The clinic had been without electronic records for 2 years. However a visit to Uganda by AAH new Executive Director Shannon Bryant gave us the opportunity for our IT team to replace the damaged master laptop with one containing the latest version of EMR4DW and this was posted to the USA to be taken out by AAH president Dick Burk when he visited the clinic recently.
The great cooperation between our two organisations resulted in Julius, EMR4DW's Senior Ambassador in Uganda, being able to setup the system on September 25th. The picture shows lead clinician Jamiru and other staff members having training.
We are especially pleased as this clinic was the first one to ever use EMR4DW and does great work for the community. Well done everyone!

All at EMR4DW, Medical Records Save Lives, are delighted to congratulate Enoch Magala, and the whole team of Centre for Youth Driven Development Initiatives (CFYDDI). On the opening of their clinic in Jinja Uganda this month. Several of us have been able to visit Enoch and witness the building of this wonderful facility. I visited along with EMR4DW founder’s Dr Peter Smith and Bass Stewart in 2018, to give advice and demonstrate EMR4DW to the enthusiastic staff. We might be in lockdown in the UK, but the picture shows our Ugandan Senior Ambassador, Julius Okello who spent 2 days helping set up EMR4DW and give staff training. Don’t look so worried everyone!! Most clinics tell us staff, with no previous computer skills, can learn the basics in a couple of days. So it will get better! We all wish you the absolute best of luck and are certain this clinic along with EMR4DW electronic medical records will only help in the wonderful work you do. Watch this blog for further updates.

The Covid pandemic has made 2020 a very difficult year for the whole world. Clinics using EMR4DW are often at the forefront of such difficulties. They are often working in remote poorly funded areas making their work, caring for their community, extremely challenging. Our thoughts. prayers and best wishes go out to every one of them. There is a glint of hope for the future as research on treatment of covid-19 showing simple inexpensive treatments can help as well as vaccines developed, in Oxford, that, I understand, have promised to be available to all countries at no profit. We hope the WHO can help to roll this out to all vulnerable people wherever they are. One thing we are proud of is that our computer software EMR4DW is able to code Covid-19 as a disease allowing our clinics to monitor case numbers in their communities and inform health departments quickly and accurately. When the vaccines are available every clinic will be able to document every covid-19 vaccine given. Let's hope it is soon! Keep up the good work in 2021.
