Arthur Williams

摘要

Arthur Williams' influence in east Africa began in 1931 when, after medical training at Cambridge and Westminster Hospital, he joined the Colonial Medical Service and was posted to Uganda. Early up-country posts as a medical officer were followed by work in Mulago Hospital, Kampala, where he developed an increasing interest in medical education, then at its early stages, and he was appointed lecturer in medicine and therapeutics. At the outbreak of the second world war he was accepted for naval service but not released by the Ugandan government, continuing to work at Mulago as medical officer and lecturer in physiology.
