For days, we watched a nation grieve together, in living rooms, in taxis, and on phones held up in silence. You prayed, wept, and reminded us that Tooro’s loss was Uganda’s loss.
We were only the screen. You were the heart behind it.
Rest in peace, Omukama.

Did you know Uganda loses roughly UGX 67 million each year due to AMR? A study by our @CAMO_Net1 Uganda team reveals this alarming cost. In his presentation, @nuwellie37 calls for unified action from all stakeholders against AMR or else the economic burden worsens.

Over the last 20 years, @mtnug has walked the journey of improving maternal & child health with MOH directly & indirectly. Such constructive partnerships have contributed to reduction of MMR & Neonatal mortality. Thank you @mtnug , @stanbicug ,@BOU_Official for your support
The Ministry of Health is partnering with @mtnug, @UNFPAUganda, and other stakeholders to advance equitable access to quality healthcare through the 21 Days of Y’ello Care 2026 campaign.
As part of this initiative, @mtnug will invest in strengthening maternal and child health services under the theme, "Expand Equitable Health for Every Community," at four Health Centre IV facilities identified by the Ministry following a technical assessment of priority needs and existing service gaps.
The selected facilities are located in Bunyangabu (Kibiito HC IV), Gomba (Maddu HC IV), Luuka (Kiyunga HC IV), and Amudat (Karita HC IV) districts.
"On behalf of the Ministry of Health and the Government of Uganda, I commend MTN Uganda for choosing to focus this year's campaign on maternal and newborn health, an area that remains central to our efforts to improve the wellbeing of families and communities across the country. The health of mothers and newborns is a reflection of the strength of our health system. When mothers receive timely, quality, and respectful care, and when newborns receive the support they need in their first days of life, we build healthier families and stronger communities." ~ @DrAyumeCharles, Minister of State for Health ( Primary Health Care)
