[Ministry of Health- Uganda @MinofHealthUG]

Today, the Ministry of Health launched the SelfCare App which will be offering personalized daily plans, habit-building tools, and in-the-moment support for stress and anxiety.

This app will provide a discreet and accessible way to monitor health, learn coping strategies, and foster a daily self-care routine, though professional help should be sought for severe conditions.

@UmaruKRymz19 I think you are addressing issues to the wrong people, how I wish you find time and get involved in the planning stages of health sector both at the city and district levels.
However, thank you for the concern.

Dr. Apollo – @CordaidUganda:

“‘Combating HIV Our Way’ empowers health, but funding gaps remain.

With results-based financing, partners, and clear targets for SRHR services, independent evaluation is key to measuring impact.”

[Uganda Network of Young People Living with HIV @UNYPA1]

The energy and fun of Day 2 has brought us hope, unity, and renewed purpose.

With every laugh, every voice, and every step we move closer to a future where young people lead the way in combating HIV with power and pride.

[Uganda Network of Young People Living with HIV @UNYPA1]

In our breakout on Mental Health, Economic Empowerment and Financial Literacy, youth unpacked the USAID funding freeze:

1. The struggles
2. The hustle to survive
3. The call: Fund the future. Support youth resilience.
