Bagala: 5 years
Bagala: Following my membership under IUGA, I volunteered to start the Uganda Urogynecological Association. I later applied to take up a position as the Africa Representative to the International Advisory Board for IUGA.
Bagala: In Uganda and within a number of LMICs, delivery of quality maternal care remains a challenge resulting into a number of cases of obstructed labor and its sequel. Such countries still grapple with increasing numbers of women who suffer from devastating conditions like obstetric fistulae and other pelvic floor injuries resulting from poorly monitored and managed deliveries. Regardless of such challenges, there is scarcity of skilled human resources that can provide the much-needed care to improve the health and life of such women. As a technical officer for safe motherhood at national level, I felt obliged to look for opportunities that would enable us to build Urogyn capacity in Uganda and Africa. IUGA is the best platform I had at my disposal to deliver to this vision. My aspiration is to support the establishment of three national urogyn associations in Africa during my tenure.
Bagala: IUGA is a perfect platform to enable us to build national capacity in urogynecological care, training and research at national, regional and global levels.
