On behalf of the directors, I am pleased to introduce to you Elgon International Health Institute and offer our vision for the future of the health training institute.
Elgon International Health Institute (EIHI) was established to cover the gaps in training Middle Level Multi Skilled Cadres of Allied Health to address the deficiency in health care delivery in Uganda.
In March-2013, The Ministry of Health Bi-annual report on human resources revealed that the national wide recruitment results of health workers which were conducted between Oct-2012 – March-2013 for Health Centres IVs (HCIVs) and HC IIIs. The report indicated that, Anaesthetic Officers, Theatre assistants and Dispensers attracted the lowest number. The report stated that out of 445 vacancies for Anaesthetic officers needed only 68 (15%) filled the gap and 228 vacancies for theatre assistants only 62 (27%) applied and received appointment letters.
EIHI is complementing Government program and policy of training Mid-level multi-skilled cadres of Healthy Workers where, so far hundreds of practitioners in fields of medical theatre operations, clinical laboratory services, pharmaceutical services, clinical and rehabilitation services are prepared to serve/work within and across the globe. B
EIHI continues to respond to the emerging needs of the society. As directors, we have taken on a twofold responsibility: to uphold our foundations and mission and to ensure our ongoing relevance in graduating the Mid-level multi-skilled health cadres to provide medical care to the community. EIHI’s mission is critical for the challenges we face today, and we will work together to express that mission and make sure it remains alive and relevant. We need to keep preparing and producing multi-skilled health cadres ready to change the unhealthy living to healthy lives of the community and to ensure that these generations, and many to come, are ready and able to take on the ill-health problems that confront us at home and across our world.
To that end, we intend to leverage EIHI’s academic and institutional networks to develop and expand/ add certificate and diploma courses and continue to innovate in technology currently explored in providing medical care to patients. We work to provide ever clear pathways to careers for our students. We want our students to find homes in change-making organizations across the world, so we must ensure that we combine our social services core with the hard skills needed for employment.
My vision is to build EIHI and train men and women to meet the highest standards of professionalism and work in an environment where effective, ethical and compassionate patient care is both expected and provided.
I invite you to join us as a prospective student, parent, or friend.
