Former MakSPH Leaders, L-R: Front-Prof. David Serwadda, Prof. William Bazeyo, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, Prof. Josephine Nambooze (3rd R), Prof. John Tuhe Kakitahi and Prof. Fred Wabwire-Mangeni (Rear 5th R) with Chairperson Council-Eng. Dr. Charles Wana-Etyem (C), current Dean-Dr. Rhoda Wanyenze (R) and other members of Council and Management at the Commemorative Dinner, 20th December 2017, Kololo, Kampala Uganda. The success of MakSPH over the years has been as a result of successive good leadership.

It was on a silent evening of Wednesday December 20, 2017 when the Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH) family convened at the Lawns Restaurant, Kololo in Kampala Uganda to recognize and thank all the past MakSPH Leadership. This one of a kind event was held in form of an end of year 2017 dinner for the school. ‘It was my first time to be amidst and freely mingle with so many Professors, Doctors and other medical practitioners. This dinner indeed brought together a concentration of PHDs and Doctorates among others’. Shared Engineer Ronald Kayiwa, a MakSPH Project staff.

It was not only fine-looking to see the extremely busy MakSPH staff get together at the same time, but we were also honored to have with us and celebrate all the six MakSPH previous Directors and Deans. If I may share the line-up, we had Professors Josephine Nambooze, John Tuhe Kakitahi, Gilbert Bukenya, Fred Wabwire-Mangeni, David Serwadda and William Bezeyo who was recently replaced by Associate Professor Rhoda Wanyenze. During this event, it was clear from the comments of all past Deans and Directors, that the success of MakSPH, has been a result of its successive good leadership.

In his remarks on behalf of the Organizing Committee, Prof. Garimoi Orach, the MakSPH Deputy Dean noted; ‘It is on rare occasions that one invites all the Main Campus Leadership and you actually have more or less all of them represented; this MakSPH Dinner in recognition of past leadership is one of those rare occasions.

Associate Professor Rhoda Wanyenze, Dean noted that it was exciting for her to have been part of MakSPH and more so to have witnessed the growth of the School as a student, staff and now its Leader. ‘Let us all always aim at supporting and celebrating one another, for our sustained individual and institutional growth’ she stressed. She stressed the importance of recognizing and building on the efforts of the past leadership.
