WHO WE ARE

Friends and colleagues in the nursing and midwives fraternity of Uganda the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union wishes to thank you for your commitment to acquisition of new knowledge every day intended at improving nursing and midwifery practice. My dear colleagues last year I told you that my office was being overwhelmed with the need for scholarships to go back to school by our members. To rid ourselves of this challenge, Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union has established a University (The Nurses and Midwives Specialised University). This is because we realised we can’t solve the educational challenges of our members by mere begging for scholarships but we have to invest heavily in it so as to recourse the future of health care delivery of this country which is going largely to be bestowed on nursing care. To the Research and Education Committee at National Executive level, I wish to thank you for your time devoted to ensure that you scrutinise the best out of the many to come and present these master class papers. Keep the spirit and focus to the best in the nursing profession. To the member who contributes his or her salary to UNMU, I wish to thank you beyond you can imagine- thank you so much.
