FEATURED UPDATE

Expanding Endoscopy in Mbarara

New equipment and donated tools are transforming GI care at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, expanding endoscopy to five days per week and more than 60 procedures each month.

Diagnostics

A new point-of-care Velacur system will allow 1,500–2,000 patients each year to be noninvasively screened and staged for liver disease, helping identify patients at risk for complications who need treatment.

Dr. Paul has been accepted for formal gastroenterology training in Hamilton, Ontario. His return will expand advanced GI and endoscopy care at MRRH and help lay the groundwork for future locally led GI training in Uganda.

HUG closed a major funding gap to provide a full year of nutritional assistance, reaching approximately 1,000 newborns, 600 children with malnutrition, and 500 children undergoing inpatient cancer treatment.

Education

The G. Ralph Corey CME Grant supported Dr. Akidi Cynthia’s participation in the 2026 Conference on Liver Disease in Africa in Addis Ababa, helping build local expertise and connections among GI-focused clinicians across East Africa.
