On behalf of @GovUganda and on behalf of H E @KagutaMuseveni, who is a proud champion of immunization, I was proud to announce that Uganda, a GAVI eligible country, is renewing its commitment of $1M to @gavi replenishment cycle. Full statement: youtu.be/Zob9GuqI_IY

Discussion on #Immunization with @ChrisHigenyi @MinofHealthUG @WHOUganda

Today, I was glad to inaugurate a state of the art satellite laboratory at Lira Regional Referral Hospital to strengthen diagnostic services in the Lango sub-region. This was constructed under the UCREPP project with support from the World Bank.

Today, @gavi CEO, Dr. Sania Nishtar officiated at the celebration of 50 Years of Expanded Program for Immunization at Katoogo Health Center III in Mukono. Held under the theme “Reinventing the wheel to improve access to immunization services”, the event aimed at celebrating the success of the immunization program and charting a way forward to ensure no child misses out vaccination. Dr. Nishtar was accompanied by @DianaAtwine, Dr. Henry G. Mwebesa, MOH technical staff and partners. #MOHatWork | #VaccinesWork

This morning we dispatched 776 equipment comprised of 556 solar direct drive refrigerators and 220 electric refrigerators to selected districts to supports safe storage of vaccines in rural health facilities, aimed at strengthening Uganda’s immunization coverage. This expansion is critical as Uganda’s immunization schedule grows, recently adding vaccines like the Measles Rubella second dose, Yellow Fever, and the third dose of Rotavirus. We thank our partners GAVI, World Bank, WHO, and UNICEF that have stood with us through this journey.

Jimmy Ameny, coordinator of Gavi Grants at MOH Uganda,notes vaccine administration has increased due to resource availability. "This highlights the need for sustained government financing for immunization, reducing reliance on donors," Jimmy retorts. #Immunization #HealthFinance

Well well well.

I was honoured and privileged to represent H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni accompanied by Mr Jimmy Ameny, GAVI Grants Coordinator. Big economies and donors contributed to AVMA over $1.2bn and over $ 2.5bn to GAVI.

As part of the activities for the upcoming Yellow Fever Vaccination Campaign, MOH led by Dr. @RichardKabanda2 addressed religious, cultural leaders and the media today. He emphasized the need to leverage on existing structures to increase demand for services #YellowFeverFreeUG

The Yellow Fever Vaccination Campaign will targeting all individuals aged 1-60 years old will take place from 2-8 April 2024 in 53 districts. I encourage all of you to get vaccinated against Yellow Fever if you have not been vaccinated before. #YellowFeverFreeUG

This is aimed at extending vaccine reach beyond district vaccine stores to designated delivery points, enhancing accessibility.

Thank you @AfricaCDC and @MastercardFdn for strengthening immunization activities including the Vaccine Last Mile Delivery program with cold chain equipment worth USD 335,166.99. We are cognizant that this will boost the immunization coverage to over 95% for the 13 antigens.

@araoameny Congrats, we Bless the Lord for the bundle of joy you’ve been Blessed with 🙏 … Another Amara, I’ve a son called Amarah

I delivered my firstborn on July 2. Amara, my daughter’s name, means "one who is loved" or "beloved" in my language Leb Lango, from the Lango word ‘Mara’ for ‘love’. My husband Jason (🇯🇲) & I (🇺🇬) are thrilled. The beginning of the most important story I’ll ever write...
