The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), through the Uganda Communications Universal Service and Access Fund (UCUSAF), has awarded funding to the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB) and Kisubi Associated Writers Agency (KAWA) to train 1,000 health workers in 58 health facilities nationwide.
This groundbreaking initiative, branded under the tagline “Digital Skills, Stronger Care”, is designed to strengthen digital literacy among frontline health workers, empowering them to deliver smarter, more efficient, and patient centered care.
Unlike hotel style workshops, these sessions are conducted directly at health facilities, ensuring that health workers gain hands on experience in the very environments where they serve patients.
Implementation is led by UCMB on behalf of the Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau (UPMB), Uganda Muslim Medical Bureau (UMMB), and Uganda Orthodox Medical Bureau (UOMB).
KAWA contributes technical expertise and communications support, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of this national effort.
