description The study was about the role of preserving medical records at Kamuganguzi HCIV. It was guided by specific objectives which were to examine the preservation methods of medical records used in Kamuganguzi HCIV, find out challenges faced in preservation of medical records in Kamuganguzi HCIV and establish the measures in which medical records preservation can be improved in Kamuganguzi HCIV.

Kamuganguzi HCIV in respect of the centralization and sharing of medical records, the preservation of patients’ records, access to patient records and archiving technology. Records management staff should be trained in the old and new system formats, to ensure they have the skills needed to recommend the right system and can implement and test migration efficiently and the government should adopt a community cloud that would be managed and used by the institutions concerned to ensure access to and the reuse of the same or old data from the old system in the new technological system.
