East African Medical Vitals (EAMV) has reaffirmed its role as a trusted partner in Uganda’s healthcare ecosystem, stepping forward as a partner at the Joint Annual Surgical Scientific Conference 2026, held from 25th to 27th March at Speke Resort Munyonyo.
The conference, which convenes leading surgeons, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders, serves as a vital platform for advancing surgical excellence and strengthening collaboration across the health sector.
Speaking during the conference, Managing Director Brian Kavuya emphasized the importance of local manufacturing in building a resilient healthcare system.
Kavuya noted that since producing its first medical glove in 2021, EAMV has continued to expand its production capacity, ensuring that hospitals across Uganda have access to consistent, high-quality surgical gloves while supporting national health priorities.
In a strong endorsement of EAMV’s efforts, Prof. Moses Galukande, President of the Association of Surgeons of Uganda, commended the company for its deliberate and consistent engagement with the surgical fraternity.
Prof. Galukande highlighted that the silver sponsorship from EAMV has echoed their strong commitment in strengthening the overall quality of surgical care in the country.
This growing partnership between EAMV and Uganda’s surgical community is delivering measurable system-level benefits.
By aligning local production with clinical demand, the collaboration is strengthening supply chain reliability, reducing procedure delays linked to stock-outs, and improving the consistency and quality of care in operating theatres.
It also supports national health priorities by enhancing system efficiency, reducing dependence on imports, and optimizing resource utilization.
In parallel, structured engagement between EAMV and surgeons is enabling continuous feedback, supporting evidence-based product development, and driving context-specific innovation tailored to Uganda’s healthcare needs.
As Uganda advances toward a future of improved healthcare delivery, EAMV remains committed to working alongside medical professionals, policymakers, and partners to ensure that quality surgical care is accessible, reliable, and proudly made in Uganda.
