It is with deep sorrow that the Makerere University community received the news of the demise of Prof. Christopher Magala Ndugwa. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire bereaved family upon the loss of a pillar in your lives. On behalf of the University Management and the entire University community, please accept our sincere condolences at this difficult time.

Prof. Ndugwa will be missed and his over 40-years of service to Makerere University at the College of Health Sciences is greatly appreciated. During his service, through hard work he rose to rank of Professor, served as Head – Department of Paediatrics and Child Health where he taught, mentored and supervised many trainee doctors and staff; he will be remembered as a friend. He has been icon in sickle cell disease (SCD) research and patient care. With colleagues, he led, initiated and developed new and better treatment procedures for patients with SCD at a time when there was little or no advancement in diagnostics.

Prof. Ndugwa has been a member of the Board of Directors of MUJHU and was a founding member of MUJHU Care Ltd. He will be remembered for his significant contribution to the HIV Research Agenda in Uganda and beyond; including prevention of mother to child HIV transmission (PMTCT) and paediatric HIV treatment as well as running the Mulago Hospital Sickle Cell Clinic for decades.

As you celebrate Professor’s life, eulogise his great works and accomplishments, we pray that you continue to uphold all the good that he stood for. May you always find solace in the power of resurrection. We believe in the risen Lord and we profess the resurrection of the body. In line with the Bible, Isaiah 26:19, we believe that Prof. Ndugwa will rise again!

May the Lord – Jesus Christ receive Prof. Ndugwa in paradise! May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Professor Barnabas Nawangwe
VICE CHANCELLOR
