The UK might send its army doctors to work at the main Ugandan military hospital. This idea got talked about in a meeting between General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's military chief, and the UK's top diplomat in the country, Lisa Chesney. Their discussion happened at the Special Forces Command base in Entebbe.
The potential deal would place British military medical staff at the UPDF National Referral Hospital for clinical work and training Ugandan personnel. That facility treats both soldiers and civilians. The broader talks also covered possible British assistance for Ugandan military training schools, continuing a long partnership on peacekeeping and professional development.
Both sides mentioned a shared respect and plans to keep talking to deepen defense ties. The British government is still reviewing the proposed deployment of its medical specialists. This meeting follows another high-level talk from last October, highlighting ongoing cooperation between the two countries on security matters.
