Urology camp at Bwindi Community Hospital

Since Monday, we have been providing urology surgeries in partnership with AFRICOMED, a Swiss charity that has over the years championed specialised surgeries at Bwindi Community Hospital.

Patients are receiving advanced procedures such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), a vital treatment for prostate cancer.

In South Western Uganda, access to urology specialists is extremely limited. Many men face late diagnoses and must travel long distances for care.

By providing treatments such as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) at B*H, patients are spared the burden of traveling hundreds of kilometers.

At Bwindi Hospital, we are bridging this healthcare gap.

Over 40 men are getting surgeries this week.

Our staff are also learning alongside visiting surgeons, thus strengthening our long-term capacity to continue providing urology surgeries.

Our Urology Camp is on this week

Launch of the Employee Health Project at Bwindi Community Hospital

Yesterday, at Bwindi Community Hospital, we launched the Employee Health Project (EHP).

EHP is a One Health initiative to protect Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) staff and wildlife from zoonotic diseases. It will be implemented by Bwindi Community Hospital in collaboration with Uganda wildlife Authority and the Greater Virunga Transboundary Collaboration.

The goal of this project is to enhance the health and safety of UWA staff in high-risk protected areas and reduce the risk of zoonotic disease transmission between humans and wildlife.

By safeguarding rangers, we also safeguard the wildlife.

The Employee Health Project is expected to evolve into a model for integrating occupational health with conservation. By prioritizing the well-being of employees, the program strengthens Uganda’s commitment to both public health and biodiversity protection.

As Bwindi Community Hospital takes the lead in implementation in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), similar efforts are being implemented across other protected areas in Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Employee Health Program is led by Tierra S Evans and Maya Homsy (PhD) from UC Berkley.

"When he is not out vaccinating children, Andisa is teaching the communities about the importance of vaccines and how immunisation has helped to control deadly disease, to reduce vaccine hesitancy. Otherwise, he is in his office drawing up plans to improve vaccine coverage.

Indeed, Andisa has helped to develop a database of almost every household in the Twa community in his catchment area. Every child who is vaccinated is included in this mobile health information system: their names, date of birth, village, vaccines received, the date of the next vaccine appointment and their parent’s [or guardian’s] phone number. This has enabled vaccinators at B*H to text or call mothers when their kids’ vaccination date is due."

In this story published by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, John Agaba highlights the work of Andisa Davis, a community nurse at Bwindi Community Hospital, who is reaching Batwa children and vaccinating them against deadly diseases.

Read full story here:

When Andisa was growing up in southwestern Uganda, the Twa people lived in forests and mistrusted outsiders – let alone western medicine and vaccines. Today, the health worker is helping to change that.
