Some of us have lived in Kampala for the past 30 years and have also chewed Baganda women, so we have no issues with the Baganda people, I come in peace 😂🤭🙌

During #PlenaryUG , I prayed that before @min_waterUg chases the people of Bukedi (whose land is 68% water/swamps),an alternative livelihood is showed to them. The pain of poverty chases people in Bukedi to go to the swamps!

[ALTON 🩺 @NewtonAllan6]

Someone called me very early this morning saying they had taken their daughter to the Uganda Heart Institute, where they were told she had a “hole in the heart” and that one side of her heart was not pumping blood properly. They were advised to undergo surgery.

He was asking me whether they should accept the surgery because, in his words, “Mulago gives wrong advice just to extract money.”

Dear Ugandans, Mulago National Referral Hospital is one institution you should never doubt when it comes to specialised medical care. We have some of the best doctors, specialists and medical equipment in the country.

Please trust our health system. Mulago is a non profit organization, it deserves a trust for that matter. It’s very okay to seek for a second opinion as always, but at least let your worrying thoughts about Mulago have no relation with “wanting to make money”. 🙏

As we were being hurt by the death of a young king and feeling empathy for his mother and sister 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 you mean there were other persons whose main concerns were the throne?
A man dies and his children are still in shock and in grief and you come asking for the will and who takes over the multimillion business? That is your main concern and NOT the well being of the family he has left?

Meetings sitting not to discuss a dignified burial and send off but how to take the throne?

What should have been the priority? The throne or a dignified send off.

If King Oyo came back from the dead right now some people literally would tell him in his face that you never left a son and we do not even accept both him and you as our king!

This is the kind of anger and bitterness I sense here.

Naye mwe….

@NewtonAllan6 @SolomonSerwanjj Bamutakuddes must be feeling good now. Health is wealth, @SolomonSerwanjj should develop a sustainability plan for the health of Banamutakuddes

@NM_Socialentrep MunaMasaka just create Bamutakudde village in Masaka. The idea is not to relocate all people to Mukono but to create more Bamutakuddes in the Pearl

@BalaamBarugahar Dear Hon. Dr. @BalaamBarugahar if you have discovered that government medicine is stolen and sold in private pharmacies, why can't you arrest and prosecute the culprits instead of jeopardizing the entire health system?

@DanielLutaaya Bwana @DanielLutaaya go for a fact finding mission in Mugiti-Budaka, instead of misrepresenting someone's identity.

RE: CONDUCT OF MINISTERIAL INSPECTIONS AT PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES

The Uganda Medical Association (U.M.A.) acknowledges your Ministry’s commitment to rooting out corruption, absenteeism, and service delivery failures in local government. We share your goal of accountability.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, we are deeply concerned about the 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 employed during recent inspections of health facilities; specifically, the presence of television cameras in clinical areas, the public interrogation of health workers, and arrests ordered before allegations have been properly investigated.

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀. Filming patients in wards, maternity units, and consultation rooms without informed consent violates the Patients' Rights and Responsibilities Charter, the Data Protection and Privacy Act, and Article 27 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. 𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺. Finding a health worker away from their station proves nothing without first verifying the duty roster, leave records, night-duty history, and on-call arrangements. Compensatory rest after night duty, annual leave, and sick leave are lawful entitlements under the Employment Act and Article 40 of the Constitution. Accusations of absenteeism must follow verification, not precede it.

𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. Uganda’s public facilities are staffed at roughly a third of established need—34% against Ministry of Health norms, with diagnostic services at 47.7% and medicine availability at 58.9%. Where a worker refers a patient due to a stock-out or missing test, that is a systemic failure, not corruption. The two must be distinguished.

𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. Articles 28 and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the presumption of innocence and a fair hearing. Arrests and public humiliation cannot substitute for proper investigation through established @PoliceUg, public-service, and professional-regulatory channels.

U.M.A therefore recommends that;

- 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀!!!

- @GovUganda fixes the system and funds recruitment and supplies.

- Humiliation Health Workers stops immediately.

- @MoLGUganda either leaves health facility inspections to @MinofHealthUG and it's organs or requests their active involvement.

𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

@MinofHealthUG @UNDAuthority @Parliament_Ug @KCCAUG, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗨𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲?

Look closely at this “medical report”:

“Left ventricular effective pump power.”
“Cardiac muscle elasticity.”
“Bone hyperplasia coefficient.”
“Rheumatism bone disease coefficient.”

It reads like someone searched for medical-sounding words, threw them together, added random decimals and called the result a diagnosis.

To a trained medical eye, it is pure gibberish. To an unsuspecting Ugandan, however, it looks like a sophisticated report from an expert. It creates fear and conveniently “confirms” why the patient must immediately buy seven expensive concoctions costing about UGX 750,000, all from the same people who manufactured the “diagnosis.”

The formula is simple: confuse the patient, frighten the patient, then empty the patient’s pocket.

@UNDAuthority, are you aware of these miracle products being prescribed by such outfits?
Have these products been evaluated and authorised for the claims being made? If not, which authority is responsible for keeping such concoctions off the market?

The most disturbing part is that these operators are not hiding. Everybody knows where they work. They boldly print their real business names, addresses and telephone numbers on their “prescription” sheets, almost as though they are taunting the authorities: “You know where we are. What will you do?”

UMDPC and AHPC do not currently have the mandate to regulate many of these operators. NDA mostly turns a blind eye. So, who regulates the person inventing diagnoses and prescribing these mixtures? In practice, the quacks appear to be regulating themselves.

Meanwhile, Kadondi from Kaliri loses money meant for proper investigations and effective treatment. Genuine care is delayed, disease advances, and potentially harmful mixtures may damage her liver or kidneys. By the time she finally reaches hospital, she is broke, critically ill and already on the road to renal failure or dialysis.

Who is protecting the common Ugandan from this predatory exploitation? This regulatory vacuum must be addressed urgently.
