WHO programme developments

Kisiizi has a number of links with the World Health Organization and recently WHO published a report on Universal Health Coverage and Patient Safety & Quality.  Only five institutions from around the world had been invited to form a "Learning Laboratory" and Kisiizi is one of them.  This led to this initial report which should be the foundation of some important developments.

We also enjoyed a visit from the WHO Country Representative, Dr.Wondimagegnehu Alemu who toured the hospital and was interested to discuss updates on our Africa Partnerships for Patient Safety (APPS) programme and our progress with the Surgical Unit-based Safety Programme (SUSP).  We also reviewed the Universal Health Coverage work and various plans for the future.  Dr. Wondimagegnehu was accompanied by the District Health Officer from Kabale who is keen for Kisiizi to support further development of Patient Safety in the region.
