Our Peer Educators are engaging @GuluVarsity students in an interactive session on condom use, from correct use to clearing up those myths that somehow refuse to retire!
Because knowing about condoms is one thing. Knowing how to use them correctly, consistently and confidently is another. #SAYPlusUG

No health worker should ever work for free!
Gov’t is busy telling health workers to “volunteer” while 556 MPs each take home 35M UGX per month—that’s 19.46B UGX monthly and a whopping 233.52B UGX per year in salaries alone!
Cut that number in half, and we instantly save 116.76B UGX per year—more than enough to sustain these health workers. But will they ever sacrifice even a shilling? Never!
Ugandans are always told to tighten their belts while the big shots keep feasting. We are not fools!
Antimicrobial resistance(AMR) has become a global threat.microbes likebacteria,viruses,fungi have become resistant to treatment making infections harder to treat.LETS ACT NOW #YouthagainstAMR#PreventingAMRtogether@GuluVarsity
@HKaweesi @MinofHealthUG and also talk about how most of you care about the brands not generic because you've been given https://t.co/ljGvVDuaUh don't even look at the financial status of your patients .don't come blaming it all pharmacists like y'all do the right thing.
@HKaweesi @MinofHealthUG As that may be true,talk about the wrong "strengths"of the drugs y'all prescribe accompanied buy the terrible handwritings and also how majority of y'all don't include your contacts for inquiry but you claim tocare about your patients.

Antimicrobial resistance is driven largely by the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, yet, at the same time, many people around the world do not have access to essential antimicrobial medicines https://t.co/O6Ri65v3EW
@Weirdconfension Eeeeeh funny how we all think we're good people 😂😂you are already hating on an innocent baby girl who is even an orphan and you have some nerve to say you're not a bad person🙄🙄please you're a witch.
DYK that In 2019, AMR caused 1.3M deaths? Today, we held an AMR campaign and educated patients and families at Infectious Disease Institute Mulago and @MulagoReferral paedaitric ward. We're advocating for smarter antimicrobial use and protecting those who need it most.💊🤍
