The OHCEA Uganda One Health Institute at Full Steam

The One Heath Institute is a center where the knowledge of young interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral teams of professionals (undergraduate and graduate) in their final year of study and at the start of their careers is transformed and are given ability to detect, prevent and respond to infectious diseases.

This does not only include the scientists who are the primary core responders in cases of infectious disease outbreaks, but also the humanities who have important roles to play like bridging the gaps in understanding community culture, beliefs and gender, bridging communication gaps, technology and innovative gaps etc. An advertisement was made and students across eight colleges and schools in Makerere University applied.
