Uganda, Germany discuss military medical personnel exchange
The bilateral discussions pitched collaboration between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and the German Forces where the two forces will exchange medical personnel.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni this week met a team of investors from Germany led by Prof. Wolfgang Dietrich, Uganda’s Honorary Consul to Germany at Commonwealth Resort Munyonyo.
The bilateral discussions pitched collaboration between the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and the German Forces where the two forces will exchange medical personnel.
Holger Crossmann, the Defence Attache of Germany to Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Somalia said that German medical personnel will be trained on how to treat tropical diseases using Ugandan best medical facilities while Ugandan medical forces will in return learn how the expert German medical defense operates.
Crossmann said that this will strengthen the bilateral relationship between Uganda and Germany if President Museveni accepts because it will be fruitful for both countries.
President Museveni welcomed the collaboration idea between the two forces and promised to engage Uganda People’s Defence Forces medical team about it.
The investors also presented the idea of E-bikes which will help in curbing crime in Uganda because they are silent and travel at 30 kilometers per hour.
The investors said that these can be used by Uganda Police Force at night while patrolling.
President Museveni noted that the idea of the E-bikes is a good one and suggested that the investors should have a meeting with the Police leadership and discuss how to adopt them.
