The Frazer Commitee was appointed by the Government of the Protectorate of Uganda in 1955, with a membership of eight, including Dr Cicely D Williams, chaired by Prof AC Frazer. It was decided in February 1955 by the Director of Medical Services in Legislative Council that the Frazer Committee would examine the present stage of development of the medical and health services in the Protectorate and, having regard to available resources of manpower and finance, to make recommendations for future policy. The committee commenced their duties in mid-August and continued until mid-November; during this time they travelled extensively throughout Uganda, visiting medical institutions and interviewing staff of the Medical Department, officials of other departments and members of the public.
