IMPACT THROUGH RESEARCH and philanthropy
Generating Evidence, Building Capacity, Saving Lives
I grew up in Iganga, a rural town in Uganda, where my late father instilled in me a love for education. Witnessing the newborn deaths in my large family shaped my passion for health systems that deliver for maternal, newborn and child health in conditions of vulnerability.
Today, I am a globally recognised academic and community leader. I founded and lead the Makerere University Centre of Excellence for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and the INDEPTH Network's Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Working Group. I also lead various charities such as the Busoga Health Forum and One Village At a Time that are working to improve health in communities in my region of birth and beyond.
Inspiring Better Health Outcomes Through Collaboration and Knowledge.
Dr. Peter Waiswa is committed to sharing insights, fostering collaboration, and driving innovative solutions for maternal, newborn, and child health systems worldwide.
