“This strategy is an important plan to achieving UHC and our targets under the sustainable development goals. We have costed it at around 5 Billion Shillings per year, and we hope this budget will be approved”
“Spending on curative medicine is a bottomless pit. We need to emphasise prevention and empower communities to do this”
“There is a limit to volunteerism. People need to be motivated to do what they do. And it is not just about payment, it is also about being equipped.”
Short 🧵 to summarise highlights of Hon @JaneRuth_Aceng remarks at #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy launch. “When communities are empowered, they can improve their own health, promote development and therefore economic growth”
Always a stressful job to represent civil society and IPs but Christine killed it - thank you! @Living_Goods
Thanks to Christine Namayanja of @Living_Goods for representing implementing partners so ably at the #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy launch. As she said “we are all committed to the implementation of this strategy to the last mile”.
