BIG Opportunity: UCI School of Nursing and Midwifery-Lira Offers Lifeline to Aspiring Health Professionals Through July 2026 Intake

LIRA CITY, UGANDA – Located along the busy Lira–Soroti Road in the heart of Lira City, UCI School of Nursing and Midwifery continues to provide life-changing opportunities to young Ugandans aspiring to pursue careers in the medical field through its Certificate and Diploma programmes.

Speaking during the institution's weekly media briefing, the Chief Executive Director, Mr. Sam Omara, announced that the ongoing July 2026 intake is aimed at supporting students from all backgrounds, regardless of their financial status.

Mr. Omara revealed that for more than ten years, UCI School of Nursing and Midwifery has remained committed to providing quality nursing and midwifery education while empowering young people with practical skills needed in Uganda's healthcare sector.

According to him, the institution has introduced bursary opportunities for bright but financially disadvantaged Ugandan students to ensure that lack of school fees does not hinder talented learners from achieving their dreams.

"We believe every determined student deserves a chance to study and serve the nation through healthcare. Our bursary programme is designed to support academically promising students who may be facing financial challenges," Omara said.

The school has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, consistently registering impressive performances in national examinations conducted by the Uganda Health Professions Assessment Board (UHPAB). The institution's graduates continue to secure employment opportunities in hospitals, health centres, and other medical facilities across Uganda and beyond.

In addition to academic excellence, the school offers practical clinical training, mentorship programmes, and modern learning facilities aimed at preparing students for the realities of the healthcare profession.

Education stakeholders have praised the institution for contributing to the production of competent nurses and midwives, especially at a time when Uganda continues to require more skilled health workers to strengthen service delivery in both urban and rural communities.

Applications for the July 2026 intake remain open, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply early to secure placement in the available Certificate and Diploma programmes.

The management has called upon parents, guardians, and community leaders to support young people interested in pursuing medical careers, noting that investing in health education contributes directly to national development and improved healthcare services.

For many young Ugandans seeking a brighter future in the medical profession, UCI School of Nursing and Midwifery-Lira remains one of the leading institutions offering affordable, quality, and career-oriented training in Northern Uganda.
