on Sunday, 12 July 2015.

ACHEST has received a grant from the WHO to undertake studies in Uganda and Nigeria on Health Worker Migration. This is part of a global study that will also be conducted in three other countries namely South Africa, India and the Republic of Ireland.

An Inception Workshop was convened in Uganda by the Ministry of Health, WHO and ACHEST on Monday 6th July 2015 in Kampala and attended by government ministries, academia, civil society and development partners and WHO representatives from Geneva and Kampala.

During this workshop and among other topics, a debate took place on the topic “This house believes that Ugandan Health Workers should not be allowed to leave the country”. The motion was defeated.
