Israeli Medicine on the Equator – IME program has been running since 2005. The project operates in the Kiboga district, one of the poorest districts in Uganda, located 120km northwest of the capital city Kampala. IME is based on voluntary medical teams, typically a group of 3-5 doctors and nurses who have undergone training and are volunteering for approximately three months or more. The project offers medical care at the Kiboga district hospital and the surrounding primary health centers and rural communities. Israeli medical volunteer teams, doctors and nurses, provide medical care along with teaching hospital staff. The program’s aim is to make a lasting effect on primary care and disease prevention and implementing a non- communicable disease program (N.C.D.’s). In Uganda, they work with the local medical personnel to provide medical care across the district. Over the years, more than 180 Israeli and international medical staff have volunteered to improve healthcare delivery and standards in rural Uganda. It is a unique project in the Israeli development landscape, with its emphasis on sustainable capacity building of local communities. The program is operated in collaboration with various bodies, e.g., Kiboga district health authorities, the Uganda Ministry of Health, and the Israeli Medical Association. IME is managed by a voluntary board in Israel, made up primarily of graduates of the program. In addition, a part-time coordinator in Israel coordinates the various logistics and fundraising activities of the projects. Topaz is planning to open a new medical center in Masaka, West Uganda. The program is based on similar principles as the Kiboga model – mobilizing volunteers to support a district hospital in the region. It will also include volunteers who will also work in schools and communities in the district in the fields of community health, hygiene, etc.
