Emergency medicine doctor. Seed educator. President of the Emergency Care Association of Uganda. Dr. Doreen Okong Alaleit is a trailblazer in Emergency Medicine in Uganda. Working at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, Uganda’s capital city of over four million residents as an emergency medicine doctor and Seed educator, Dr. Doreen is unstoppable as she is committed to delivering the best for her patients and advocating for the emergency medicine workforce in Uganda. Dr. Doreen loves to break down barriers within the medical field in Uganda. Back in 2017, when the Ministry of Health and Seed partnered to establish a Master of Medicine (MMed) in emergency medicine, Doreen joined the program in 2018 as part of its first cohort at Makerere University. Of the eight students in her class, only three graduated in 2022, two of them women. This International Women’s Day we can’t help but be inspired by Dr. Doreen’s perseverance to drive up standards in the emergency medicine field, support the next generation, and tear down stereotypes not just in the medical field but also society. https://seedglobalhealth.org/2025/03/07/dr-doreen-okong-alaleits-leadership-is-shaping-the-future-of-women-in-emergency-medicine/
