Join the Discussion: Drowning in Uganda’s Lakeside Districts — Is it Reducing or Increasing?
@Makerere University School of Public Health, through the Centre for Trauma, Injury and Disability Prevention (@TRIADUnit), invites you to a research dissemination dialogue on drowning in Uganda’s lakeside districts.
The discussion will examine emerging evidence on whether drowning cases are reducing or increasing, the drivers behind these trends, and what this means for prevention, policy, and community safety in Uganda’s high-risk water environments.
The session is relevant for researchers, public health practitioners, policymakers, development partners, students, district leaders, and all stakeholders interested in injury prevention and water safety.
Join the conversation on 27 May 2026 from 12:30–2:00 PM by registering here: bit.ly/DrowningPreventioninU…

Good Morning @ProteaKampalaH.
This is to inform you that the pedestrian walkway on Upper Kololo terrace road is not a parking lot for your customers.
@KCCAUG constructs the pedestrian walkways for the safety of pedestrians and not as a parking lot.
Thank you.

As we commemorate #emergencymedicineday , we urge all stakeholders to prioritize strengthening Uganda's emergency care system. Injury related deaths and hospitalisations are rising. Let's emphasize prevention and quality care. #injuryprevention #emergencycare
