Heroes in Health Awards (HIHA)

Moses Mulimira, Diaspora Engagement Advisor for Global Health Partnerships, has received the Diaspora Merit Award at the 2024 Heroes in Health Awards (HIHA).  Themed “Health Workforce Financing To Achieve Universal Health Coverage”, the awards ceremony took place on Friday 15th November in Munyonyo, Uganda, where Health Ministry and partners celebrated outstanding people who have shone a light on Uganda’s health sector.

This recognition highlights years of impactful work advancing healthcare resilience and sustainability in Uganda. Moses shared the award with Primrose Magala, from Eye-Health Africa, the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Association and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London (a Global Health Partnerships health partner), celebrating their collaborative efforts in strengthening the country’s health systems. Their contributions underscore the significant role of the diaspora in transforming healthcare.

"Immense pride"

Moses said: “I am thrilled to be recognised with the Diaspora Merit Award at HIHA 2024. Receiving several nominations from our motherland and the Diaspora is a true honour. The recognition fills me with immense pride and motivation to continue supporting our health sector.

“I thank my team at Global Health Partnerships, Health Ministry of Uganda, and all those who nominated me for their love. I am inspired by this award and promise to even push for greater growth in Uganda’s health sector.”

    Thank you so much Global Health Partnerships team for your continued support, mentorship and amazing leadership. On behalf of Eye Health Africa and Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust - Volunteers, I wish to acknowledge and appreciate our Partner organisation, Ubora Foundation Africa, for the incredible work they are doing in ensuring our projects are implemented successfully. Without this amazing Partnership and collaboration, much of what we do would not be possible. Credit to Dr Innocent Ayesiga Miller and his team for the brilliant work. The award is a collective effort.
