Moses Kyarisima is a former Community Health Officer at the Bwindi Community Hospital in SW Uganda. Nowadays he’s a medical entrepreneur, delivering mobile obstetric and other medical scans by motorcycle to pregnant women and others.
I was in Uganda recently and sat down with Moses to talk about how he identified and met a need to deliver medical care to women in the villages, far from the city. I also learned how this self-made man paid for his education, from primary school to university level.

The Batwa were the inhabitants of an ancient rainforest until the 1990s when the Ugandan government evicted them in order to establish a national park for the mountain gorilla. The park is now a World Heritage Site.
From field medical clinics with drip lines hanging from tree limbs to a 128-bed hospital, the Kellermann Foundation has helped reduce child mortality rates and the incidence of malaria in the region.
