AMREF in Uganda Wins the Khadil Award of Excellence in Medical Laboratory Service

The Uganda Medical Laboratory Technology Association has selected AMREF in Uganda as the first winner of the Khadil Award of excellence in Medical Laboratory Service.

This is in recognition of the enormous contribution the organization has made in promoting excellence in Medical Laboratory Service delivery in Uganda.

The award was given during the 29th scientific conference of UMLTA which took place on 24th November 2011 at the Colline Hotel – Mukono, Central Uganda. This year’s theme for the conference focused on maternal health which is in line with AMREF’s focus for the next three years as articulated in the AMREF business plan 2011-2014.

The possible beneficiaries of Khadil Award are organizations or individuals working to promote Medical Laboratory Services delivery and that have contributed tremendously to the development of Medical Laboratory Services in Uganda.
