Cavendish University Uganda extends heartfelt congratulations to our alumnus, Andrew Ddembe, for being featured in the April/May 2024 issue of Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30! Andrew, a passionate advocate for digital health was recognised for his ground-breaking work in leveraging digital technology to enhance healthcare access for rural communities across Africa. His innovative efforts have made a significant impact on health equity, transforming the lives of countless individuals.
In addition to this prestigious recognition, Andrew Ddembe was honoured with the Global Citizen Prize 2024 in New York for his exceptional contributions through his organisation, MobiKlinic.

Andrew’s passion for social justice and health equity stems from personal experiences. “I lost my grandmother due to the poor health system in rural areas,” he shares. This loss ignited a desire to address the disparities he also witnessed during his travels across sub-Saharan Africa, where many rural communities face daunting challenges in accessing healthcare.
In early 2019, Andrew’s innovative idea won the Sandoz HACk, a global health access ideas challenge, providing him with seed funding of €20,000 ($21,800) to develop MobiKlinic further. Today, MobiKlinic serves townships across Uganda and continues to expand its reach.
Andrew’s journey exemplifies the power of youth leadership and innovation in addressing critical global challenges. The Cavendish fraternity congratulates Andrew on his remarkable achievements and for inspiring change across the continent.
