During their recent visit to Uganda, Dr Elizabeth and Mark Fowler travelled to Gulu in Northern Uganda with Dr Henry Muwonge from the UUKHA (Ugandan U.K. Health Alliance). This is a new partnership for EMR4DW and they visited 2 clinics run by the Karin Community a Ugandan charity based in Gulu. The 3rd clinic, St Monica’s ,was supported by the Catholic Church. All 3 clinics were well organised with trained staff who were very interested in a detailed demonstration of the system. The demos provoked interesting questions and discussions.

UUKHA had also arranged 2 hospital visits mainly to introduce ourselves and explain that some local clinics will be using the EMR4DW system. At St Mary’s Lacor a busy General hospital serving the local community since 1959 we found ourselves presenting the system to the Hospital Board - they were immediately interested to use the system in 3 rural health clinics run by the hospital. Next up was a meeting with the medical director of the Government run Gulu referral hospital generated a great deal of interest in the prescribing/pharmacy stock part of the system - plan to start using this soon for their 20000 patients. We hope these visits will promote use of EMR4DW and we are busy preparing start up documentation for them.Exciting developments for EMR4DW to look forward to in 2018. Thank you to all our sponsors who make work like this happen.
