Lira, Uganda | Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH) is today hosting the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Uganda National Association of Hospital Administrators (UNAHA), bringing together hospital administrators from across Uganda to discuss healthcare management and service delivery improvement.
The Association, which has 135 members drawn from General Hospitals, Regional Referral Hospitals and National Specialized Hospitals, is using the meeting to review hospital performance and assess how administrative systems are supporting effective healthcare delivery across the country.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, UNAHA President and Principal Hospital Administrator of LRRH, Peter Okello Odeke said the AGM provides a platform for administrators to share experiences, benchmark best practices and identify innovative approaches that can strengthen operations in health facilities.
Odeke explained that the Association rotates its annual meetings among different hospitals to allow members to appreciate how facilities operate in various regions and learn from one another.
He noted that the arrangement exposes administrators to practical solutions that can improve efficiency, management systems, and healthcare service delivery in their respective stations.
According to Odeke, Lira Regional Referral Hospital has, over the years, attracted several benchmarking visits from other regional hospitals due to its ongoing transformation and improvements in service delivery systems.
He added that delegates attending this year’s AGM will have an opportunity to learn from the strategies that have enabled LRRH to register rapid transformation in key operational areas.
The AGM is also expected to elect new leadership for the Association as the current executive completes its three-year term.
Hosting the national meeting is viewed as a recognition of LRRH’s growing reputation in promoting transformative leadership and quality healthcare service delivery in Uganda.
