There is no time we have had a pole fall, or a transformer fail or power go off for days that we have not been asked as a community to pay you to come and do your job. This is not right @UEDCLTD

Sickle Cell Disease and other Inherited Blood Disorders affect over 300,000 to 400,000 babies born across Africa every year, with up to 80% of affected children at risk of dying before age five without timely intervention.
As we mark this Sickle Cell Awareness Month, Dr Michael Udedi, Principal Technical Officer, NCDIMH, Africa CDC underscores why it needs to move up the priority list.

The arrival of the late King Oyo’s body at Entebbe International Airport has brought a profound sense of sorrow and reflection across the nation.

When medically necessary, caesarean sections can make the difference between life and death for mothers and babies.
But even though caesarean sections have become very safe in many parts of the world, they remain complex medical interventions, with risks and a recovery that can be challenging.
Miss World #Uganda Muhoza Trivia Elle’s “Layers of Life” gown tells that story in a unique and powerful way: raising awareness of the realities of caesarean section childbirth while celebrating the strength of mothers who have experienced it.
