This paper reports on the approach taken by the Uganda Maternal and Newborn Hub (UMNH) working under the Sustainable Volunteering Project funded by THET. It summarises the progress, successes and challenges of the project 18 months since it started. The main aim was to build capacity in biomedical engineering across 6 health facilities in Uganda. The project mainly covered medical equipment used in maternal and new-born health. At the start of the project, inventories were taken to assess the conditions of the equipment. Subsequently, training focused on improving practical skills and equipment management principles was conducted. Another set of inventories was taken in the second year.
