Dear Colleagues,

The Allied Health Professionals Council is a corporate body established under the Allied Health Professionals Act Cap. 268 to regulate, supervise, and control the training and practice of the Allied Health Professionals in Uganda. The Council was established to protect the public by maintaining up-to-date registers of registered and licensed professionals, private health units, and recognized training institutions which are published in the Uganda Gazette every year. All employers and the general public are encouraged to always refer to the registers at all times to prevent illegal practitioners or non-recognized health training institutions.

The professions regulated by the Council to practice in Uganda are many and of late more are expressing interest to be registered. The Council and stakeholders shall do whatever it takes to ensure that all eligible applicants are registered and licensed prior to practice within Uganda. I encourage all professionals and applicants to contact and make use of the office of the District Allied Health Supervisors across the country for registration and licensing purposes to avoid traveling long distances yet services are available nearer to them.
