Ivan Edwards FRSA is an American doctor with Ugandan-European roots. He is a flight surgeon in the US Air Force Reserve, holding the rank of lieutenant colonel.[2] He is reported to be the first flight surgeon of Ugandan descent.[3] He fought against the sale of a historic cemetery in Kampala, Uganda, and saved it from being bought.[4] He is a public speaker. He has a healthcare practice in San Antonio, Texas.[5]

Background and education

He was born in Kampala, Uganda, and lived there during the dictatorship of Idi Amin, a ruler who ruled badly and destroyed many people’s lives. In the late 1980’s, he came to the USA and became an American citizen. He completed his education in the U.S. He joined the US Air Force Reserve then as well.[5]

Community work

In 2009, Edwards fought to stop the sale of an old cemetery in Kampala, Uganda. This cemetery, called the Kampala European Cemetery, was where many important people from Uganda’s past, including some of Edwards’ family, were buried. Some people wanted to buy the cemetery to build a shopping mall there, but Edwards didn’t want that to happen.[6] He started a protest and got a lot of people involved. Because of the attention from the local news and the community’s support, the cemetery was saved from being sold. It was also recognized as a historical place that needed to be protected.[7][8][9]

Medical work

Edwards’ medical practice focuses on managing the patients' pain and restoring them back to good function. [10]
