Kizza Besigye Kifeefe practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Kizza Besigye Kifeefe as Ugandan physician, politician and former military officer in the Uganda People's Defence Force.
Kizza Besigye Kifeefe was born at Uganda in 1956. His recorded nationality is Uganda. He trained at Makerere University School of Medicine and Kitante Hill Secondary School.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
His posts were held at Mulago Hospital, Aga Khan University Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Uganda matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Kizza Besigye Kifeefe is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
