The national
midwives association of Uganda has today ushered in the new executive led by Kanyunyuzi Annette Evelyn who has vowed to work on unprofessional midwives and
nurses as a way of improving service delivery to mothers and their new bones.
Speaking at
the commissioning and handover ceremony today in Kampala, the state minister
for health Dr. Joyce Kaduchu asked
the new executive to have all midwives and nurse under one umbrella, saying
this will foster togetherness.
However, Kanyunyuzi sighted the need for govt to
increase on the number of midwives and nurses to help lift off the heavy burden
the current skeleton of midwives and nurses are carrying.
The ushered
in executive of over eight NEC members and over four regional coordinators has
been asked to exhibit high levels of transparency, volunteerism and integrity
as they run the association.
Uganda has
13 mini midwives associations which bring together professionals from different
regions of the country and these feed into the national association which has
ushered in new leadership.
