Makerere University finally decided to show off its dusty medical history receipts. The College of Health Sciences launched a centennial exhibition at the Sir Albert Cook Medical Library in Mulago, Kampala, to display handwritten patient records and vintage equipment from the early days of Ugandan medicine. Professor David Meya leads the committee arranging this showcase, which highlights institutional heritage alongside modern innovations. Visitors can view rare documents from founder Albert Cook while the administration pushes for alumni engagement to secure infrastructure funding.
Professor Richard Idro confirmed that the school aims to renovate the Davies lecture theatre to fit five hundred students because the current capacity blocks enrollment growth. Officials estimate these upgrades require seven hundred million shillings for backup power and digital systems. This event sits within a broader celebration concluding with a dinner at Mulago Hill.
Attendees at the launch coughed up eight million shillings during an auction for an aerial photo to support these building plans. Professor Alison Kinengyere emphasized that the library remains central to research efforts as the college seeks to construct a new biomedical complex and teaching hospital.
