"Sadly, the men behind campaign of terror in Uganda... like the late former Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Sam Omara, who tormented Kizza Besigye Kifefe Kizza-Besigye during Walk-to-Work protest in 2011 died in squalor at Mulago Hospital without knowing that he too was a victim of poor governance, and that when he got sick he would be treated at a collapsed public hospital that lacks drugs and equipment, while political elite like Sam Kutesa, who stole money earmarked for healthcare improvements, and is connected to general Yoweri K Museveni was flown to Germany for world class medical care at taxpayer's expense, only to returned to the country and built a church". - President BOBI WINE.

South Africans declare war on Uganda's and other Africans.... Dr Martin Luther Nsibirwa is a senior researcher at their human rights commission. They want him gone. Musicians and TV hosts must go too! I think 🤔 if we too take this ideology, then All South African businesses in Uganda like MTN Uganda Stanbic Bank Uganda DStv Uganda must also go back to South Africa. The CEOs of these companies are very quiet as our people are being launched. Sylvia Mulinge M.B.S DStv Ugandashow more

UPDATE: Dr Charles Olaro, Director of Health Services at... the Ministry of Health, says immediate postpartum family planning could play a key role in reducing maternal mortality in Uganda. Dr Olaro said the short interval between childbirth and a subsequent pregnancy exposes some women to increased health risks, noting that some return for their baby’s six-week immunisation already pregnant.

Kabushenga’s Thoughts Here Is A Cause For You I... disappointed my friend Jacqueline Asiimwe. You see, Jackie has this great concept which really works well & especially for her. She does this walk where she calls up a person she would like to have a conversation with & off they go. For a start, it is good exercise. Walking always is. Secondly, it is a really really cheap date. Almost laughably so. You who comes along never has to cost her anything. The road is free and no need to eat or drink. Yet you keep her perhaps the most productive company of any date that anyone can wish for. When you are done you go home. But I digress. This is not about hooking up. It is about conversation & learning. So back to the disappointment. Jackie expected to talk about the change that my life has gone through since my previous work. Deep down, without saying it, she expected I would break out into a run rather than walk. None of that happened. In fact I stuck to walking. Only at a faster pace. She had to slow me down to catch her breath. But I couldn’t help myself. Rather than miss out on running, I spent most of our walking time on the road, talking about running. I said nothing about the new direction my life had taken. She didn’t forgive me. But my run talk was about an issue dear to Jackie’s heart. I decided to tell her why on Sunday October 4th we are going to run to #SaveAMother. The week before I visited Mengo Hospital Blood Bank. It was a sobering experience. The Independence Marathon is partly a fundraising drive to benefit them because they serve the underprivileged particularly mothers in child birth. Of the 187 Ugandan mothers that die every year during child birth, most of them bleed to death. Uganda suffers an annual blood shortfall of 100,000 units. So Mengo Hospital Blood Bank a major source, is in desperate need of blood and money to collect it. They also need a cold room to handle the raw blood. Right now it is kept in a few ordinary fridges. And let me add that the shortage of O-Minus blood is particularly acute. This was my conversation with Jackie. By the time she remembered why she had wanted us to go on this walk together, we were done. I laughed at her! And she was sold in signing up for the cause. Please join her #WalkToConnect bus that day if running is too much for you. See you then PS: Got to donate blood myself & meet two old friends NAVIO #EastLORD & Flaviashow more
