@UgParliament, @avundr, @gdbhoka1, @nbstv, @ntvuganda Dear MPs Today, 9 Jan 25, before today is a request to approve a loan to among others bulid Laropi bridge. Please approve it. Let Moyo, Obongi & Yumbe also join the 24hr economy of Uganda. They have suffered enough isolation.

#Makchs,

Today, 2nd April is World Autism Awareness day. Let us support families with a child with Autism Spectrum.

Ladies, this is *breast cancer awareness month*. This is the No. 1 cancer in women worldwide and No.2 in Uganda. *Please let this video help you to act.* Early detection saves lives.

I have this wild idea. One in three Ugandan children is stunted. We have plenty of milk we can't sell. Can we give it school children? Happy farmers, businesses, children, schools, and healthier children.

What a painful loss of lives! Rest in peace, our young.

Preparing to examine and release the next lot of Paediatricians (22) this morning. Yesterday, we examined the next set of doctors. By the end of this month, we shall have another 2000 doctors, nurses, midwives , pharmacists, and 150 specialist doctors.

The whole truth nothing but the truth, as plain as it is, has been spoken.

Congratulations Ghetto kids. Very proud off you children. Doing UGANDA very proud. Best wishes in the final. On 9th October, let us award these kids the Golden Jubilee Medal.

The only 2 Paediatricians were so won out. *"You know there are no interns* one said. Several nursing students doing the little they knew. It was like a war zone. Then we have people still keeping 2000 skilled health workers at home refusing to pay them! A mad country.

In Jinja children's hospital today. The wards were crazy: 282 hospitalised with 45 admitted overnight. The Emergency unit was a disaster zone; 3 children on oxygen on each available cot, several in coma, others receiving blood, one mother wailing "Omwana afa, leka ntwala eka".

It is painful how we treat our young. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients but 2000 highly trained people are at parents homes b'se MoFPED cut the MoH budget. #DonotcutMoH budget.

Thank you Rt Hon Deputy Speaker for the walk against malaria and the blood donation. Uganda needs 450,000 units of blood a year but UBTS is struggling to collecct 300,000 annually Your example is timely.

I wrote this 10 yrs ago. The problem has now ballooned; so many children of middle income parents in high end schools coming to hospital with conversion disorders. Pressure to achieve is so high, children hardly sleep, dont play, are so stressed & are falling apart. Lets wake up.

@rggoobi Mabati saga has provided govt the opportunity to reduce the cost of political governance. Reduce the number of Ministers back to 21 and with it Ministers of State, presidential advisors etc. The small money you have will be able to take you far.

3. Bottomline, we must reduce the risk of debt distress by increasing revenue collection, cutting Govt spending & protect only growth-enhancing spending, and provide incentives to attract climate smart financing. END.

Concluded with IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington DC.  Key messages: 1. International funding is declining & non-concessional sources are getting more expensive. So we must, (a) step up collection of domestic revenue, and (b) keep fiscal deficits at the bear minimum. 1/

Returning to Kampala from a West Nile Community meeting crying for a bridge on Albert Nile at Laropi. @UNRA, MoFPED, MoWT, end this suffering now. #constructlaropibridgeNow

Children’s health key as schools open monitor.co.ug/uganda/oped/co…

It is getting late but so many vehicles and hundreds of people are still lined up on either side waiting to cross the Nile at Laropi. For how long will this suffering in west nile continue? #ConstructLaropiBridgeNo @nbstv @ntvuganda @UNRA_ED @UNRA_UG @OfwonoOpondo @NRMOnline

Our Target this year as Moroto Regional Referral hospital is to perform 1000 eye surgeries. We are kickstarting with a camp at the facility this week. Don’t be left out. Don’t suffer with visual impairment that can be rectified. At your service!
