Working together to improve working conditions in Karamoja.

 ​🏥Kotido General Hospital Visit - Key Takeaways

Progress at facility:
1. Facility being upgraded with expanded Maternity, NICU unit and Out Patient Department.
2. Staffing at near 50%
3. District leadership highly motivated to improve health care in district, planned recruitment at new HC4.

​📉 Promotions: The promotion process is currently too slow and needs to be fast-tracked.

🛠️ Working Conditions: There is an urgent need to improve the general working environment and conditions for our staff.

🤝U.M.A Membership: Let's encourage all doctors in the region to join U.M.A! We need numbers to amplify our voice and advocate for better welfare and benefit from welfare products like indemnity.

🎓 Internship Site: We need to recruit more key staff and equip the facility so it can be upgraded to an internship training site.

🇺🇬 GoU Support for the underserved region: We must work closely with district leadership to identify critical staffing gaps and push the government (GoU) to provide the necessary support to fill them, MOs, DHOs, Associate Consultants, Allied HCWs and Nurses.
