Uganda's Joint Clinical Research Centre pioneered antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa as early as 1992, and has since grown into a network of regional centres of excellence across the country.
The Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC) has joined CFO East Africa as a corporate member, with director of finance and administration Samuel Musinguzi set to take part in the community's events and networks, alongside Drollah Ssebagala, deputy executive director, Henry Rwabuhinga, finance manager, and Andrew Bahati, chief accountant.
They will attend CFO summits across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, as well as affiliated events in South Africa, including CFO Day, Executive Day and the Finance Indaba.
The package also includes print editions of CFO East Africa and CFO South Africa magazines, certificates for up to 56 hours of verifiable CPD, and invitations to the annual CFO Awards in both regions.
JCRC is an autonomous not-for-profit organisation founded through a partnership between the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defence and Makerere University's College of Health Sciences. It was established in 1991 at the request of the Government of Uganda. Headquartered in Lubowa, off Entebbe Road, it conducts clinical research and provides HIV/AIDS and other healthcare services, with regional centres of excellence in Mbale, Fort Portal, Mbarara and Gulu.
Corporate membership is available to CFOs who would like to support the community's activities while extending growth benefits to their senior finance team members at an annual investment of $1,950.
