.@MinofHealthUG has commissioned 332 Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) in Kyenjojo to strengthen primary healthcare by promoting disease prevention, maternal & child health, and basic treatment. They will support health education, disease surveillance, immunization, and referrals, improving access to essential services while reducing hospital burden. Kyenjojo faces high malaria cases (31%), poor antenatal attendance & HIV prevalence (6%) but is improving in TB treatment (93%) & malnutrition reduction. CHEWs will bridge health facilities & VHTs, transfer PHC knowledge, and enhance household-level care. Equipped with phones for data, bicycles, iPads, medical kits, & screening tools, they will drive early disease detection, better nutrition, HIV testing & improved sanitation. We also conducted support supervision at Kyenjojo General Hospital to assess service delivery. #MOHatWork

In partnership with the Global Hope & Texas Children’s Hospital, we are strengthening #SickleCell care in primary health services. Today, together with DGHS, we visited Kayunga RRH to assess progress. In just 3 months: • 1,476 newborns & infants screened • 64% of all live births screened • 100% linkage to care for diagnosed cases • 94.5% of patients on Hydroxyurea • Reduced admissions for acute complications Great progress! We are committed to scaling up this program to more regions across the country. #MoHatWork

Inset : Official Groundbreaking for the construction of a 250-bed specialised hospital for heart conditions in Nakawa this morning. This state-of-the-art facility will provide lifesaving treatment for over 7,000 heart patients in Uganda and the region each year. Beyond saving lives, it will significantly cut costs for both the government and individuals by reducing the need for expensive travel abroad for specialized heart treatment and surgeries. A major milestone for Uganda’s healthcare system! 🇺🇬 #MOHatWork

There’s one thing I’m happy about- the electronic medical records. I’m happy that I’m no longer sending patients to buy exercise books for writing their history and treatment. I’m happy that when a patient comes for follow up, I can retrieve the past medical records in the system. Lastly, I’m happy that the system can clearly show how many patients were seen by each health worker per month. As head of department, I can now focus on my work knowing well that I don’t have to follow anyone around. The system is not yet perfect but I’m happy that it is somewhere

We have confirmed an outbreak of Sudan Ebola Virus Disease in Kampala, Uganda, following verification from three National Reference Laboratories. The index case, a 32 year old male nurse from Mulago NRH, sought treatment at multiple facilities but our rapid response teams are fully deployed, contact tracing is underway, and all necessary measures are in place to contain the situation. We assure the public that we are in full control. Incase of any suspected case, call us on toll free 0800100066.
