About Davies Lecture Theatre

The Historic Heartbeat of Makerere University Medical School. Established around 1945, the Davies Lecture Theatre is more than just a building—it is the soul of Makerere University Medical School. For generations, it has been the space where Uganda's finest medical minds were shaped, where future doctors took their first steps toward saving lives, and where knowledge was passed down with passion and purpose.

This iconic hall has hosted countless lectures, debates, and historic moments. From the teachings of legendary professors to visits by national leaders, its walls have witnessed the evolution of medical education in Uganda. But time has taken its toll. The benches are worn, the doors creak, and the once-grand space now needs urgent restoration.

By participating in the MakCHS Centennial Run, you're not just running a race—you're helping restore a national treasure. Your steps will help renovate the Davies Lecture Theatre, ensuring that future generations of health professionals have a space worthy of their dreams and dedication.

"Run for the past. Run for the future. Run for Uganda."
