My Swedish friend just spent 5$ (SEK 50:-) being flown my ambulance helicopter and getting her appendix out. Tax based universal health coverage at its best (and at 11% of GDP) ! #UHC is a political choice. @ChathamHouse @daktari1 @UHC2030 @yates_rob

[HealthPolicy_Mak @MakHPPM]

Without addressing the key determinants of health we may not be able to meet our goals. Gov't putting in place many initiatives such as the national health insurance scheme, building new and functionalisation of Health Centre IVs- State Minister for Health Dr Kaducu #UHC2019

@MakerereU VC Prof @ProfNawangwe urges @MinofHealthUG to address the challenges that the university is having in getting placements for medical students in hospitals. He says the hitherto longstanding partnership needs to be protected. #UHC2019

@MakSPH Dep. Dean Prof Makumbi says achieving UHC is possible with the right policy, sound implementation structures and sustainable funding. @SPEED4UHC @MakerereU #UHC2019

[HealthPolicy_Mak @MakHPPM]

To achieve #UHC, there's need to empower political actors to act on commitments. If political class is empowered, more funding could be directed to health. Let the UHC gospel be repeated even if the message is the same.- Prof @YDambisya in keynote address at #UHC2019

Questions from participants at a seminar on Uganda's proposed #na

[HealthPolicy_Mak @MakHPPM]

How will people used to getting free services be convinced to pay premiums? How will Gov't address trust issues? Who's going to pay for the poor? Are there penalties for defaulters? What package/s will be offered? How's the scheme going to work with existing community ones?

[HealthPolicy_Mak @MakHPPM]

Is there complete buy in from the President? What happens to my policy one am unemployed? Will it cater for those who have been going to India? How's Gov't prepared for potential litigation? Is the scheme any better? Can our economy support this? Is the right time?
