Career
editMbidde began working at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) in May 1974.[5] In the early 1980s, plans were made for Mbidde to begin leading efforts at the UCI with his predecessor, Charles Olweny. However in 1882, Olweny suddenly left Uganda in exile and joined World Health Organization in Zambia and Mbidde took over as director without a handoff of leadership.[5] From 1982 through 2004, Mbidde was the sole oncologist in the only cancer center in Uganda.[6][7] He served as the executive director of the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) until 2004.[8][6]
