The Uganda Health Professions Assessment Board (UHPAB) was established under the TVET Act, 2025 and formalized through Statutory Instrument No. 25 of 2025. The Act was assented to in February 2025 by H.E. Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda.

The Board is the governing body charged with overseeing UHPAB’s strategic direction, accountability, and effective delivery of its mandate in the assessment and certification of health professionals under the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) framework.
