He is a creative and knowledgeable IT expert who returned to his home country of Uganda after a successful career in Europe. Putting to practical application the knowledge gained from his PhD thesis at Heidelberg University, he has set up Uganda's first hospital based electronic health management information system (eHMIS) in Tororo district hospital. Now, he is taking this successful model and applying it to other hospital venues as well as to a village health center where the system is solar powered. Further, he has worked collaboratively with medical students from Makerere University, a village health center staff, and a team from the U.S. National Library of Medicine to implement a digital pen application (originally for disaster preparedness) in an observational study on bednet use in Mifumi village in Eastern Uganda. Not only was the project carried out with professional expertise, but also with great humanity and caring for the progress of the people in the village. Dr. Ndira has great capacity to be a leader in ICT for development. He not only has a keen intellect, entrepreneurial spirit, and professional approach, but can deliver a positive outcome with a big heart. Julia Royall Consultant, Global Health"
