Dr Dan kyabayinze @MinofHealthUG#MOHatWork
Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.
For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.
Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.
She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.
It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.
Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.
LET'S PRAY🙏
Father in heaven, we adore you; you are holy and eternal. Thank you for this new day. We commit all our plans today unto you. Your word encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not to lean on our own understanding; in all our ways, we should submit to you, and you will make our paths straight. So, we choose to trust in you to guide us safely throughout the day; all glory and honour belong to you, in Jesus' name, Amen.🙏
With the capacity we have built, we are able to detect any outbreak anywhere in the country within 24 hours. We are also able to test for any disease - Dr.

Participated in the Childhood Cancer Colour Run this morning, organized by the Uganda Child Cancer Foundation, to raise awareness and support for children living with cancer. I urge everyone to support this cause in any way possible, as it can help save the life of a child battling cancer. These are voices of HOPE!
