UNMC’s Global Center for Health Security has been recognized for its support of health care professionals in Uganda as it begins a phase in its ongoing collaboration in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pipeline Worldwide<\/a>, a nonprofit founded in 2010 to support communities living in extreme poverty in Northern Uganda, presented the Global Center for Health Security with its 2025 Non-profit Unseen Champion Award at a conference in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recognition follows the summer delivery of a simulation container lab \u2013 equipped with medical equipment donated by Nebraska Medicine \u2013 that now supports training for health care professionals at Pipeline Worldwide\u2019s Lonyi Village Innovation Learning Center in Moyo, Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key members in that initiative included James Lawler, MD, the Global Center for Health Security’s associate director of international programs and innovation, and Vicky Nakibuuka, international program manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pipeline Worldwide also hosted a screening on Nov. 24 of its short documentary film, \u201cNow You See Us,\u201d during an event at The Catalyst. The film spotlights the organization\u2019s work in the Moyo District, transporting viewers to one of the world\u2019s most remote regions, where limited infrastructure and proximity to the South Sudan border and refugee settlements shape daily life. Featuring local voices and sweeping footage of the landscape, the documentary portrays a community marked by resilience amid longstanding neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the screening, Dr. Lawler and Nakibuuka joined a panel discussion moderated by John Lowe, PhD, director of the Global Center for Health Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLocal health security and global health security are intertwined,\u201d Dr. Lawler said. \u201cIf we want to protect our communities from emerging infectious diseases like Mpox and we want to stop future pandemics, we need to be present on the front lines of emerging infections, in strategic locations where pathogen, environmental and population factors create the highest risk. Northern Uganda is one of these places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event also marked the launch of a new collaboration between the Global Center for Health Security and Makerere University\u2019s Infectious Disease Institute. Together, the partners will develop the first training course in basic labor and delivery skills \u2013 including infection prevention and control \u2013 for delivery at a new training center under construction in Moyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
