Expertly chaired by Dr. Bisso Fred and Dr. Nassazi Judith, the panel featured a high-level discussion with Dr. Richard Kabanda, Dr. Dan Ogwal, and Dr. Erisa Mulwanyi. Key Highlights from Dr. Richard Kabanda @RichardKabanda2 Commissioner @MinofHealthUG is intentionally prioritizing Pillar 5 (Surgical & Anesthesia care) with a focus on: ✅ Infrastructure: Expanding surgical capacity at the district and city levels. ✅ Visibility: Increasing surgeon numbers and high-level advocacy within the Ministry of Health. ✅ Public Awareness: Reducing knowledge gaps to prevent life-threatening delays. ✅ Real Impact: Moving beyond the boardroom to ensure rural communities are the priority. "Implementation must happen where the people are." #ASOU2026 #MinistryOfHealth #PublicHealth #SurgicalEquity #UgandaHealth #SurgeryInTheCommunity
