Inset : The 4th National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Conference, presided over by H.E. the Vice President of Uganda, reaffirms the importance of prioritising prevention and empowering communities to build a healthier nation. This cause requires everyone’s involvement. We must reactivate community structures, from households and villages to parishes, sub-counties and districts, to complement Government efforts in delivering health services. By empowering people with the right information and fostering community ownership, acceptance and participation, we can prevent disease and ensure health interventions reach those who need them most.
