Chairman's Re
ort 2022
2022 has seen a return to almost normal in terms of ease of travel and lack of lockdowns. UCIF has
maintained its busy schedule. with camps throughout the year, and over 200 women treated for
childbirth injury.
January 2022 Kitovu
Cathrine Reimers and Ishbel Campbell supported this camp, primarily run by Dr lan Asiimwe with Dr
Florence. 70 patients were treated including 20 vvf and 34 tears. The amazing work of Dr Maura
Lynch continues to be upheld.
March 2022 Kamuli
Dr Kate Darlow, Ishbel Gimpbell and Dr Asiimwe headed up this camp. Mobilisation was a little
disappointin& with only 15 patients finally processed through screening, but the case5 were more
complex than usual. and it was a good educative experience for everyone, particularly the UgBndan
trainees Dr Tinka Ana and Dr Vincent Medesi.
May 2022 Kulu¥a
Dr Asiimwe ran a camp here with Dr Fiston, treating 24 patients. This was the first camp in this area.
Mobilisatlon brought a few fistula patients, with rn0￿ hoping to be reached as successfully treated
fistula survivors act as ambassadors to encourage others to attend.
June 2022 Karnuli
Due to the lower numbers in March, it was decided to undertake an extra clinic in Kamuli. Dr Mhairi
Collie, Dr lan Asiimwe Dr Tinka and Dr Martha plus Christine Wood attended, with Ishbel Campbell
coming to supeNise the discharge process at the end of the camp. Lesley Reid and Isbeal Uttley also
came to help as volunteers. There were 37 patients treated, including 17 vvf. Three patients were
found requiring urinary diversion- a complex procedure involving diverting urine permanently into
the bowel for patients who are unreconstrurtable otherwise. Our senior Ugandan nurse Joan
Nabbagala kept in contact with these patients so that they could return for this major surgery at the
start of the planned camps in October, when the team would be around for 2 weeks to manage any
post operative complications.
August 2022 Mubende
Dr Asiimwe and Dr Barageine ran a camp in Dr Matovu's home hospital in Mubende treating 27
patients. Iii fistulael with 2 trainees. Mubende has unfortunately been in the news this week with
the Ebola outbreak. Dr Matovu is bravely treating patients with Ebola but has not contracted it.
We were so sad to hear of the demise of an anaesthet15t and a theatre nurse, known to the team.

Summary:
229 patients treated plus November camps to come
4 advanced trainee surgeons supported to attend camps, trained in
fistula surgery (see attached testimony from one, Dr Martha Namugga)
4 senior Ugandan fistula surgeons paid to undertake camps
PLUS: Special congratulations to Ishbel Campbell for reaching the final of the
Scottish Global Health awards- a significant and well-deserved recognition of
her efforts.

Nurse Training Kamuli Misslon Hospital
A very successful nurse training camp was held at Kamuli Mission Hospital from 9, to 14, October. 3
new nurses were introduced to f15tula nurse training. Betty and Vitalis from St Anthony's hospital in
Tororo and Morris from Kuluva h05Pltal outside Arua.
All 3 nurses had already attended fistula camps in Uganda but had no formal training in how to look
after these patients.
Joan and Joanita, two fistula nurse trainers from Kamuli ran the training programme under the
supervision of lshbel Campbell. The nurses were all given a text book on nursing fistula patients and
a competency based training plan.
The majority of the tfaining was by the bedside with hands on teaching on the intricacies involved in
looking after patients with fistula and perineal tears. Group teaching sessions were held daily to
distuss aspects of nursing care, understanding the injuries sustained by the patients and also other
challenges they may face running camps if their own. The Broup discussions encouraged more in-
depth conversation around challenges the students had already experienced and solutions to help
manage thelr problems.
All nurses completed the training programme and agreed to return to their own hospitals to be able
to teach their colleagues in fistula nursing care.
Ishbel followed Vitalis and Betty back to Tororo for a camp the following week and was very
impressed to see that they put in to practice their teaching from Kamuli. The patients were well
looked after and their colleagues were learning from them how to manage the patients.
