The power of collaboration can be seen in driving innovation, performance, and long-term success, especially in the health sector.
To this effect, Uganda High Commissioner to the UK, H.E. Nimisha Madhvani, hosted members from the British Ugandan Doctors Association, the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Association UK-CIC, the Ugandan Diaspora Allied Health Association, plus NHS partners interested in global health activities, at Uganda House, London, to review the pivotal role of Ugandan health diaspora associations in a global NHS & Uganda.
In her remarks, the High Commissioner highlighted several opportunities and challenges in Uganda’s health sector, calling upon the Diaspora community to collaborate in a bid to improve health outcomes back home.
In addition, Ambassador Nimisha recognised the vital contributions of Ugandan diaspora health professionals, stressing the importance of diaspora expertise and patriotic spirit in a bid to enhance Uganda’s image on the global stage.
In the same breath, she expressed gratitude and recognised 3 diaspora health professionals, including Primrose Magala, Moses Mulimira, and Dr. Nik Kotecha, for demonstrating excellence, professionalism, and unwavering commitment toward strengthening Uganda’s health sector.
On her part, Dr. Edith Nakku from the Uganda Medical Association called for strategic alignment of health advocacy activities in order to improve a variety of health outcomes.
It should be noted that, emphasizing the need for more integrated and collaborative care systems, healthcare professionals can navigate the challenges of working together toward a shared purpose.
Ultimately, members agreed to collaborate more effectively in their respective global health programs to build a stronger health system. Greater collaboration and less competition between nations is ultimately the answer to achieving a sustainable future, which benefits health workforces globally. Henceforth, focus should be on collaboration, not competition, working together toward sustainable solutions that benefit our communities.
