Yumbe Regional Referral Hospital in partnership with the Ministry of Health, has today launched a Regional Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (RPHEOC) at the facility. The Shs36 million centre was funded by Uganda Health Activity and the hospital. Dr Michael Mwanga, Assistant Commissioner for Surveillance at the Ministry of Health, says the centre will primarily support disease outbreak control and response efforts. He noted that the facility serves not only as a regional referral hospital but also handles cross-border cases from South Sudan and the DR Congo. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Robert Elema

The Health Service Commission has resumed the National Validation Exercise for the United States Government Supported Staff from 23rd March to 2th April 2026 in the Regional Referral Hospitals.

The Minister for Health, Dr. @JaneRuth_Aceng officiated the Community of Practice on Health Sovereignty where she called upon delegates to unite as a community, share good practices and teach Africa on how to propel forward. She noted that Africa is a rich continent and we need to act accordingly. #MOHatWork

It was an honor hosting a delegation from the Global Health Security Diplomacy Office of the United States Department of State. We value the insightful engagement and look forward to strengthening our partnership to advance resilient health systems and global health security. @USEmbassyUganda

A highlight of the morning sessions: Assoc. Prof. Frank Asiimwe @RubabindaJr President @TheUMAofficial challenged the Ministry of Health @MinofHealthUG on the critical issue of rural surgical care. In a direct dialogue with Dr. Richard Kabanda , Prof. Asiimwe pushed for stronger engagement with stakeholders like @TheUMAofficial in policy-making. He laid out a 4-point roadmap for surgeon retention in our rural communities: 🔹 Train: Expanding specialized education. 🔹 Promote: Creating clear career pathways. 🔹 Equip: Providing the essential "Tools of the Trade" to get the job done. 🔹 Advocate: Pushing the government to provide social amenities (housing, schools, etc.) that make rural placement sustainable. It’s time to move beyond the city and ensure every Ugandan has access to a specialist. #ASOUCONF2026 #SurgicalEquity #UgandaMedical #RuralHealth #PolicyChange #UMA

This week, Ulrika Hertel, Health and SRHR Specialist at @Sida, is engaging with the Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH) as partners advance discussions around the proposed EMBOLDEN initiative. The engagements are unpacking Sida’s feedback on the EMBOLDEN proposal led by Prof. Rhoda Wanyenze and partners, while identifying opportunities to further strengthen the concept. The proposed programme brings together three key components: MIDWIZE, which focuses on improving the quality of care during childbirth; SPICH, aimed at strengthening preventive child health services for children aged 0–5 years; and an adolescent sexual and reproductive health component addressing teenage pregnancy and youth wellbeing. During the visit, Ms. Hertel is meeting with Prof. @RhodaWanyenze, Dr. Denis Kintu, Dr. Phyllis Awor, Dr. Johanna Blomgren, Ms. Rebecca Nuwemastiko, Dr. Phillip Wanduru, and Ms. Brenda Wagaba @BrendaWagaba, and is also holding discussions with Dr. Richard Mugahi, Commissioner for Reproductive and Child Health at the Ministry of Health, Uganda. The engagements include a field visit to China-Uganda Friendship Hospital, Naguru, where the team is interacting with MIDWIZE ambassadors to have first-hand experiences of how the midwife-led quality improvement approach is strengthening respectful maternity care and improving childbirth outcomes. The EMBOLDEN initiative is being explored under the Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Health (@CeshCentre) partnership between @Makerere University and @karolinskainst, with support from Sida.

This morning, the Ministry of Health handed over equipment under the Equity Accelerator Fund to strengthen immunization services in hard-to-reach communities, including fishing, island, nomadic/pastoral, refugee, religious sect, mountainous, and conflict-prone areas. A total of 59 districts will benefit from equipment such as 642 motorcycles, portable tents, sleeping bags, rain gear, backpacks, umbrellas, gumboots, life jackets, and mountain helmets to support outreach teams. #MOHatWork
