Biomedical Engineers Want EAC Standards For Medical Devices Harmonized businessfocus.co.ug/biomedical-eng…

The Uganda National Biomedical Engineering Conference (UNBEC) is happening now at hotel Africana with overwhelming numbers that have turned up to Build a Resilient Biomedical Engineering Infrastructure towards Vision 2040.@unamhe @MinofHealthUG @MbararaUST

MRI is a safe imaging technology classified according to the strength of magnetic fields they produce. @MUBESA_MUK #UBNEConf

The standard MRI scanners are huge, expensive to buy with alot of techinical demands plus high operational costs which leads to loss of lives since most people cant be able to afford the bills that come after all these costs. #UBNEConf

All the way from Port Elizabeth, #SouthAfrica. Hutz Medical has always come through 4 this gathering in K'la. Many thanks to the team! #UNBEConf

In partnership with @unamhe, the Biomedical Engineering unit at @MakerereU convenes medical experts at Hotel Africana for a 2-day conference that begun earlier today. Follow proceedings via👉 #UNBEConf

Very interesting workshop on paper based DNA diagnostics designed by University of Glasgow led by Dr. Julien Reboud at #UNBEConf @MulerwaMartha

Great conference. Thanks to the organisers and the chairpersons @sseki_biomed_en @Pippa_Mak @unamhe

"However the state of life of upper limb amputees continues to remain unappealing even with the tremendous efforts performed by these organizations"Brenda adds #UBNEConf

Just within a two-year period from 2015 to 2017, records from the Traffic @PoliceUg Department indicate that over 7,000 people were killed in boda-boda accidents. Everyone has used a boda here at the #UNBEConf. I am glad to hear solutions to this challenge such as made helmets.

Commonly known for their modern and aesthetically pleasing hospital equipment designs. HUTZ Medical was one of the key participants and sponsors at this years' Uganda National Biomedical Engineering Conference. bit.ly/HUTZMedical #UNBEConf

Dr Robert Ssekitoleko @sseki_biomed_en closing the BME driver workshop at the @unamhe #UNBEConf

One thing for sure pointed out by @BrendaNakandi earlier was the absence of legitimate bodies that advocate for rights of upper limb amputees. A reminder that we need to give more attention to minority groups in Uganda. #UNBEConf

There is need to bridge the gaps in the chain of service provision to persons with disabilities through advocacy for accessible and cost effective assistive technologies. Thank you @sseki_biomed_en , @BrendaNakandi and team for spearheading this. #UNBEConf

It's very sad that people without some limbs are helped and availed with artificial ones but refuse them saying they'll be called, ''robot men'' and ''robot women'' as Brenda Nakandi, a student at @MakerereU has testified here at the #UNBEConf.

Day 2 #UNBEConf Keynote from Dr. Cosmas Mwikirize on learning-based device localization in 2D/3D ultrasound-guided interventions. @unamhe @MakerereU

Dr Cosmas Mwikirize is our first presenter for today with a presentation about Learning -based device localisation in 2D/3D Ultra sound guided interventions. #UNBEConf
