Pre-production and Filming:
During January 2002, Art Director Joe Pacutho designed and constructed the health centre interior in a large conference room in Jinja, and built the exterior of Konaweeka Health Centre on the back of the DISH II Project Jinja office. Also during this time, the project hired all the regular actors and actresses for the series, signed up production trainees and hired other necessary Ugandan and Kenyan production talent, set up a production office in Jinja, made arrangements to house and feed cast and crew during the 3 months of filming, and collected props, costumes, equipment, and supplies. Mediae Trust purchased and hired camera, sound and lighting equipment and contracted 2 directors, a cameraman, a soundman, and a composer from the U.K., and a costume designer from Kenya to produce the series and train Ugandan talent.

Filming began on 15 February 2002, and continued through 7 May 2002, in Jinja. The first two programmes were filmed in 6 days each; thereafter, all programmes were scheduled for 5 days. Each programme was edited in Jinja during the week after filming. The Directors alternated between programmes in the series. The project used two offline editing suites.

The DISH II Project pretested the off-line edits of each programme among panels of television viewers and fed back comments and suggested changes to the Directors and editor-in-training.

Post-production
In late April, accomplished British soundtrack composer Simon Brint worked with two Ugandan songwriters in Uganda to compose the theme song and soundtrack for the series. Online editing and laying down soundtracks was done in London during May.

The series will broadcast regionally in Africa in October 2002.
