About us
The Uganda Nurses and Midwives Association - UK (UNMA-UK) was created in July 2020, at the backend of the second wave of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Following a series of workshops to explore how the diaspora can engage in the global engagement campaign, the lockdown in the pandemic highlighted a massive gap in how the diaspora can support each other.
The group comprising health and social care professionals, predominately from Uganda, working in public and private healthcare sectors, decided to form a professional advocacy association.
As an International Nursing Organisation (INO), we embrace Internationally Recruited (IR) health care professionals.
We identify ourselves as a Black and Ethnic Minority group (BME/BAME) belonging to the wider Diaspora Nursing and Midwifery consortium.
