Good news for all our warriors!!!
We were privileged be part of the historic event in Uganda's Health Sector. @DianaAtwine, the Permanent Secretary at the @MinofHealthUG officially launched the hydroxyurea plant marking a very big milestone for Uganda's Health Sector.

On 14th October 2025, Lyomoki Development Organisation (LYDO), alongside other key partners in the fight against Sickle Cell Disease in Uganda, had a honour of participating in the National launch of the Sickle cell Scale-Up Programme in LIRA CITY led by Hon.Dr.Jane Ruth Acheng.
Uganda is one of the top four countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa where the prevalence of Sickle Cell Disease is alarmingly high. Every year, 25,000 babies are born with this condition, and tragically, 80% of them do not live to celebrate their fifth birthday.
Malaria is a significant health concern in Uganda, accounting for a substantial number of deaths and cases, with over 29% of the population at risk. There has been a high risk of infant mortality due to malaria caused by martenal anemia and low birth weight.
