After one year of internship at the Mulago National Referral Hospital, she attended the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where she obtained a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in 1984. In 1992, she obtained a Master of Medicine in psychiatry from Makerere University. Her chosen field of concentration was forensic psychiatry.[4][5]

Career

From 1992 until 2000, she worked as a registrar at the Butabika National Referral Hospital, responsible for forensic services.[4] In 1999, she was elected President of the Uganda Medical Association (UMA)and was re-elected five more times.[2] From 2000 until 2003, she was a consultant psychiatrist at the Mulago National Referral Hospital and was responsible for forensic services. Since 2003, she had served as a senior consultant psychiatrist at the Mulago Hospital Complex, responsible for psychiatric emergency services. Since 2012, she had been the clinical head of the Directorate of Medical Services (Departments of Internal Medicine and Psychiatry) at the Mulago National Referral Hospital.[4]

From October 2013 until October 2014 she served as the first female president of the World Medical Association, elected as such by 50 national medical associations worldwide[6][7]

In June 2015, after 31 years of continuous service, Mungherera retired from civil service, aged 57 .[8]
