The International Day of Action for Women Co-operatives is dedicated to sensitize people on the important role Women Cooperatives play in society.

This is going to have a major impact on accessibility & quality of health! It could mean 80% drop in health financing and I hope am wrong. Uganda needs to get really ready for this impact.
