Handwashing and thus hand hygiene was a 'magic shot' for the prevention of #COVID_19 when the world was engulfed in a serious public health crisis . Promoting & observing handhygiene at individual leves offers a cheap but reliable avenue for the prevention of a wide range of infectious diseases . #PurposeHealth

Today, on #WorldMalariaDay, Africa CDC reaffirms its commitment to accelerating efforts to end malaria across the continent. Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Africa — but it is preventable, treatable, and ultimately eliminable with sustained action. With continued leadership from@_AfricanUnion Member States and coordinated efforts across sectors, Africa can move closer to a malaria-free future. #HealthSecurity

There is positivity & hope in driving a youth-led health journey towards Africa's health sovereignty. From African Union Bingwa to Bingwa Plus ,all these faces of initiatives championing youth- centred health programming have provided an insight into better approaches of designing impactful & sustainable health programs. With the great energy ,enthusiasm, and innovation of young people , Africa's health security is assured #CPHIA2026

Tomorrow,24th April 2026 , we shall join @MinofHealthUG in commemoration of #WorldMalariaDay26 at Iganga grounds ,Eastern Uganda, under the theme : Driven to End Malaria.Now We can.Now We Must . This commemoration is an opportunity to enhance public awareness on the various malaria prevention measures, most importantly the Newly rolled-out malaria vaccine ,a major breakthrough in preventing malaria related child mortality. @ALMA_2030 @malariacorps @MalariaNoMore @FightingMalaria @FightingMalaria @AfricaCDC @NatukundaMario

Today, @MinofHealthUG launched the Malaria Elimination Strategic Plan (2025–2030), marking Uganda’s decisive shift from control to elimination. Malaria is not just a health issue; it is a development crisis. With bold, data-driven targets, zero malaria deaths, sharply reduced incidence, and districts moving to pre-elimination by 2030, the message is clear: the cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of ending malaria. Now is the moment for sustained leadership, smart investment, and collective action @KasondeMwinga #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #Malaria elimination

Speed doesn't only kill but compromises livelihood when providers die or get disabled. We have the power to reduce speed related injuries & deaths . Uganda 🇺🇬 recently passed speed regulations that includes a 30km/hr speed limit in key designated places (below,) With regulations & compliance ,we can do away with speed related injuries & death ,especially for the highly productive young population. It is OUR responsibility. #SpeedKills @grspartnership @BloombergDotOrg @RoadSafetyNGOs @MoWT_Uganda

As we continue to strengthen Africa’s health security, #CPHIA continues to provide a platform for strategic discussions ,guiding human , financial ,& medical related decisions in pursuit of Africa's health sovereignty. Together for all of us.

Evidence from @WHO shows that industrially produced trans fatty acids have no nutritional value and they cause heart diseases such as stroke, heart failure, and clots. We urge @MinofHealthUG to act now and quickly enact hybrid regulations to eliminate iTFAs from Uganda's food supply. #CefrohtUg #UGFoodKills #TransFatFreeUG #TransFatFreeEAC
