@cehurduganda I believe that leadership carries a responsibility to promote dignity, evidence-based communication, and respect for human rights. Public statements that stigmatize people living with HIV can discourage individuals from seeking HIV testing, treatment,

[CEHURD Uganda @cehurduganda]

Today, media is awash with a leaked letter of the resignation of the chairperson of the Uganda human rights commission. The resignation leaks just hours after CEHURD shared a formal letter of concern at her office on Friday 10th July regarding her public stigmatization of people living with HIV.

In CEHURD’s letter, we called upon the outgoing chairperson to retract those stigmatizing remarks and reminding her of the landmark ruling in CEHURD v. Pastor Ssempa (EOC/CR/123/2019), where the Equal Opportunities Commission Tribunal ruled that disparaging people living with HIV violates Articles 21 and 24 of Uganda’s Constitution. The Tribunal held that stigma against people living with HIV/AIDS undermines Uganda’s entire effort to fight the epidemic.

As the Chairperson who heads Uganda’s foremost human rights institution steps down, this moment is a powerful reminder that no public official, should be allowed to use their platform to shame or stigmatize people living with HIV. The letter we prepared stands as a record that civil society will always hold those in power accountable.

A nation that hires more guns than doctors,will always have its citizens buried in peace by the same uniformed officers it prioritized over medical care 😆.
More barracks than hospitals, more bullets than beds, & somehow we’re surprised when our greatest protection is the guard

Across Uganda, @Microhaem Scientifics health scientists are actively creating awareness, strengthening capacity, and expanding access to quality diagnostics.

Recently, we had the privilege of training many #healthcare workers, and many more health professionals continue to be trained by our dedicated scientific teams across the country. These trainings are equipping frontline health workers with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver accurate testing and improve patient outcomes.

As Uganda advances local healthcare solutions, #Kwiq Test HIV 1/2 continues to serve as the first-line screening test in the #NationalHIV Testing Algorithm, while MicroScreen Sickle Cell HbA/HbS/HbC is supporting early detection and newborn screening efforts to help children begin life with the right diagnosis and care.

Building stronger health systems starts with empowering healthcare workers and ensuring communities have access to quality diagnostics.

Train. Test. Diagnose. Save Lives.
