Who is an Ebola contact?

Mikael (Mika) Cleverley: "As we light candles honoring those who have lost their lives to AIDS, may we recommit to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 through partnerships, innovation, & shared responsibility." Cc: @USEmbassyUganda | @UNAIDS #CandlelightMemorial2026

Please see and share SOPs for the ongoing Ebola response…

At the International Candlelight Memorial, we stand in solidarity with people living with HIV. Through our $2.3 billion health partnership & American innovation like lenacapavir—a twice-yearly injection preventing nearly 100% of new HIV infections—we're moving closer to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Together, we will end HIV. 🇺🇸🇺🇬🕯️

When I met H.E. Cleverley Mikael, The USA Deputy Ambassador to Uganda today at the candlelight memorial, I expressed my personal thanks & those of many people with HIV to the American people; whose generosity ensures we access ARVs & don't die of AIDS. #endAIDSby2030

At State House Entebbe, I met Mr. Nick Checker, the Senior Bureau Official in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of African Affairs, who is representing President Donald Trump at tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony, together with his delegation. I emphasized the need for value addition and industrialisation across Africa. We cannot continue exporting raw materials such as coffee, oil and minerals without processing them. Value addition is crucial for expanding Africa’s GDP, creating jobs and increasing the purchasing power of our people. I welcome him to Uganda and wish him a fruitful stay.
