As we celebrate #zerodiscrimination Day, I am reminded of the role of health care providers in helping to educate the community, uphold human rights and dignity and support people living with HIV. Without support , our efforts don’t count. It takes a collective commitment. #HIV

Rwanda 🇷🇼 President Paul Kagame of Rwanda has directed Ministers and senior government officials to reduce overseas travel. Any minister or high-ranking official wishing to travel abroad for meetings or conferences must now provide a clear justification, explaining: • The specific benefits the trip will bring to Rwandans, and • The potential losses or risks to Rwanda if the travel does not take place. This measure aims to prevent wasteful spending on non-essential international trips.

For about a decade, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital as a janitor. Soon, she’ll walk the halls of the hospital again — this time wearing a white coat, after matching into an anesthesiology residency. wapo.st/3NtgqTx

@DailyMonitor They’re right to protest

Entebbe residents protest dumping of garbage near Lake Victoria. The Nkumba dumpsite, which started receiving waste after the collapse of Kiteezi Landfill in Kampala, was reportedly meant to operate temporarily   #MonitorUpdates monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…

@CanaryMugume @KiberuJimmy Ehhhhhhh

For Hoima stadium to host AFCON, CAF requires Hoima to have ‘a minimum of five 5-star hotels, each offering at least 50 rooms and meeting all required operational standards and amenities,’ and Hoima Airport ready enough ‘to support international arrivals and tournament-related logistics.’ 👀.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁 In today’s @DailyMonitor, page 7, our Director of Programmes, @richardmuganzi, makes a simple point that national health insurance isn’t something we can keep debating, it’s something we need to get done. Right now, too many Ugandans are one illness away from financial distress. With out-of-pocket payments covering nearly 40% of health expenses, access to care is still determined by ability to pay. That’s not just inefficient. It’s unjust. A well-designed National Health Insurance Scheme has the power to change how healthcare works in Uganda. By pooling risk across the population, it spreads the burden more fairly, protects families from catastrophic costs, and brings us closer to universal health coverage. Countries like Rwanda and Ghana have shown that progress is possible when systems are designed with equity at the center. Uganda has that same opportunity right now. The question is no longer whether we need national health insurance. It’s whether we will act with the urgency and intention required to make it work for everyone. #NationalHealthInsurance #RightToHealth

@ibrahimkalange_ Urban life is very fast paced, huge expenses and some people barely sleep. Working day and night to “afford life”. Plus other things

The most 'advanced' societies are often the ones struggling most with mental health and chronic disease. Why?

@smartlawyer256 @MathiasSsemanda 😂😂😂😂

@ThisIsMutunga @MathiasSsemanda Mans!!! Respect my first name!!! There is no way my Surname is going to be my second name!!! Tindi mujungu guy

Nothing confuses Ugandans more than first name, given name, last name, and surname. Even most university graduates get these mixed up.
