Several suggestions about the name to be given to the Uganda Chapter were made. Most of them were basing on the names of other chapters. UG-AHILA was given as the new name for the AHILA Uganda Chapter. This was during a consultative Chapter meeting that was held on 8th May 2009 at Makerere University Library. There was a relatively good turn up from representative institutions in the country, and an interim committee was put in place to organise the major revitalisation of the chapter. Mr. Paul Ssemwanga (Aga Khan University) heads the interim committee. Other suggestions made during this meeting included: creating a UG-AHILA blog through which members would post updates on the chapter activities, share experiences and knowledge; members were also encouraged to prepare presentations aimed at keeping others informed of what is going on in the health information world. The second meeting was held on Thursday 25th June 2009 at 9am at Makerere University Library. Together we will uplift the status of health information activities in Uganda.
