Dr. Andrew Mwanika’s Presentation on the Genesis of COBES
Dr. Andrew Mwanika, head of COBES, describes how the decentralization by the government has put new responsibilities on the districts. After an assessment of manpower in the districts and a feasibility study, the Faculty of Medicine responded with a curriculum change, comprising Problem-Based Learning and COBES. The curriculum aligned students’ training to health needs of the country and was designed to prepare students for rural practice, integrating priority health programs into their training and acclimatizing students to the rural districts. COBES now has a presence in 43 districts. Not surprisingly, attendance at health facilities goes up 30% when the students go out, and the program has a high level of acceptability with the communities and the district health offices.
2nd Workshop for Uganda Health Communication Alliance
The workshop was a good success. I worked long and hard yesterday on the slide order and have almost got everything right. I just noticed a couple of places – during the presentation – that I need to fix. I have really enjoyed these two workshops. I think it’s because I’m working with communication types – print, radio, tv – which makes sense given my background, and they seem really appreciative and excited by what I’m showing them. The presentation I have put together is much more than database training – I incorporate what I’ve learned from malaria research, from telecommunications work, health issues being written about in their publications, public health here in Uganda, lessons from the village, ideas for articles, and so on. And I really want them to be able to tell their stories to the world – or at least to Kampala!
