Uganda is Ebola-free, and that's just the start of what's in this issue.
In our cover story, Executive Director Dr. Simon Peter Nsingo reflects on the end of the 2026 Ebola outbreak: what the victory took, what it cost, and why preparation, not panic, is what beats these threats.
Also in this issue:
→ How keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery is delivering safer procedures and faster recovery
→ Inside our Emergency Department, where time means life
→ Mengo’s cervical cancer screening research was presented on an international stage
→ A young patient's journey from intensive care back to school, with a dream

After spending around 45 days in the ICU, discharge day became a moment worth celebrating.
Every discharge is a journey. There are difficult days, small steps forward, dedicated healthcare teams and families who keep showing up.
For Shilat, that journey reached an important milestone: going home.
We’re grateful to have been part of her care and to witness this moment.

The energy at Metroplex Naalya today was absolutely unmatched.
We showed up, laced up and conquered the 2026 Independence Marathon.
Today was about so much more than just breaking a sweat or securing a finisher’s medal.
We ran with a unified, critical purpose:to #SaveAMother
Instead of resting in our beautiful homes, today we decided to head to Lubaga Girls SS to donate blood.
Supported by @ubtsug1, and led by our Lions Buddy Group, we continue to support Governor @DGDanielDdam's call to #CreateLastingImpact in our community. #Rotary
Sometimes, care begins before a baby can say a word.

You can still choose your distance.
You can still give blood.
