The myth that the body parts of persons with albinism bring wealth or good fortune is false and dangerous. We must reject discrimination, challenge harmful beliefs, and promote inclusion, respect, and protection for all.

[NUDIPU @NUDIPU]

As we commemorate #InternationalAlbinismAwarenessDay 2026, we strongly condemn all forms of violence and harmful practices against persons with albinism. Having a different skin pigment does not diminish anyone’s humanity, dignity, or rights. @EstherKyozira @Mglsd_UG @SNUPA6

“Braille machines & paper remain costly for many children in school limiting their right to quality education. As media you must take keen interest in highlighting these challenges & capturing the attention of policy makers to drive change.” Joan Mbabazi , Comms Officer @NUDIPU

Disability issues often remain underreported because persons with disabilities are wrongly overlooked as active contributors to society. Inclusive media reporting is key to amplifying their voices, rights, and contributions to national development. @MoICT_Ug

The new Strategic Plan according @jquesiga should prioritize dignity, independence, & meaningful participation for persons with disabilities. We should move away from just giving wheelchairs or hearing aids. Stakeholders should shift from charity to a rights-based approach.

[NUDIPU @NUDIPU]

Last week Uganda launched the National Rehabilitation & Assistive Tech Strategic Plan 2025–2030, a major step toward improving access to rehabilitation & assistive tech services nationwide. Govt is committed to pan for resources to ensure structured & sustainable implementation.

[Jackie Marlene Quesiga @jquesiga]

Today, I had the honour of giving the key note address at the launch of Uganda’s 1st National Rehabilitation & Assistive Technology Strategic Plan 2025–2030 by the Ministry of Health. @MinofHealthUG

This strategy is a major step toward ensuring equitable access to quality rehabilitation and assistive technology services for all Ugandans, especially persons with disabilities and other marginalized groups.

At CBM, we believe rehabilitation and assistive technology are not privileges, they are essential to dignity, inclusion, independence, and participation.

Together, let us move from policy to action and ensure no one is left behind.

When people demand the right services, even ministries take notice. They assess whether the people providing services are qualified. That’s why the Allied Professionals Council has regional offices working with DHOs. -Kintu Edmund, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Consultant -@MinofHealthUG

[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

To improve rehabilitation services, it’s important to empower supervisors and identify technical experts. Supervisors need qualified professionals to assess NGO services, and with support from the Ministry of Health, service quality and regulation are strengthened. -Kintu Edmund, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Consultant -@MinofHealthUG

@NUDIPU

[NTV UGANDA @ntvuganda]

Health workers like physiotherapists, orthopaedic technologists, and occupational therapists can offer private practice where government facilities don’t exist. This helps meet growing demand, as the strategic plan aims to address workforce shortages and expand rehabilitation services. -Kintu Edmund, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Consultant -
