@Parliament_Ug @ObuaHamson Let’s prioritize this conversation, today is a day to record . Thank you house for bringing this together and timely

House has adopted the motion urging government to recognise the sickle cell disease as a major public health concern that requires immediate budgetary attention. Government Chief Whip, hon. @ObuaHamson said the issue of sickle cell disease is being integrated within the national health system by @MinofHealthUG. “We are trying our best to ensure the availability of essential medicine. We are also encouraging public-private partnerships to complement efforts of government in sensitising communities about this monster,” he said. #PlenaryUg

@Parliament_Ug @ObuaHamson This is extremely timely.

@Parliament_Ug @ObuaHamson Woow. We welcome this decision & stand ready to collaborate with government and partners to strengthen community awareness, screening, and support for affected families. This is a very important step toward prioritizing prevention, early diagnosis, and access to lifesaving care.

We thank you house for this motion and our prayer is that this comes through for we need to secure more lives

We are proud to host the @Rotary International President, Mr. Francesco Arezzo, at the Joint Clinical Research Centre for the official launch of the initiative to establish Uganda’s first Bone Marrow Transplant Centre. This milestone marks a bold step toward transforming healthcare in Uganda by bringing life-saving treatment closer to home. Together with @Rotary and our partners, we are building hope, saving lives, and creating second chances for patients and families who need it most. This effort is promoted by @KlaSpringers #BMTInUganda #RotaryEyamba #HealthcareTransformation #SaveLives #RotaryInAction #JCRCCares
