June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.
Today or this week, call a man in your life and ask:
"How are you really doing?"
Listen without judgement. Men need support too.
#MOHatWork | #MentalkUG26
"A physician's work must be generously rewarded, for they are entrusted with human life and health - the greatest of all values.
A doctor burdened with survival cannot fully devote themselves to healing".

Some of the times I go against some religions is when a patient denies blood transfusion which would save their life simply because of one religious man who lied to people that blood transfusion is not Godly.
For sure does the God we believe want his people to die or am not understanding this concept.
Tomorrow, hope begins with a smile.
Our team @MulagoReferral will be conducting a free cleft lip surgery camp, restoring confidence and changing lives-one patient at a time.
Know someone in need, it's not too late, come through, we are ready!

WHY PHARMACISTS?
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry globally is governed by stringent Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards that mandate specific qualifications for personnel who supervise key departments. The World Health Organization (WHO), through its National Regulatory Authority (NRA) Maturity Assessment Benchmarking tool, classifies national regulatory systems into four levels of maturity (Levels 1 through 4), with Level 4 representing the most advanced and fully functional regulatory systems.
Uganda, with its National Drug Authority (NDA) as the primary regulatory agency, aspires toward higher WHO NRA Maturity levels in line with regional harmonization initiatives under the East African Community (EAC) and the African Union's Africa Medicines Agency (AMA). With the commissioning of manufacturing facilities such as Quality Chemicals Industries Ltd and Abacus Parenteral Drugs Ltd, Uganda has demonstrated capacity for pharmaceutical production. However, questions regarding the appropriate educational qualifications for supervising personnel in such facilities remain a subject of debate.
The nine Key Knowledge Areas (KAs) in the Bachelor of Pharmacy curriculum that directly relate to pharmaceutical industry practice are:
Community and Public Health Pharmaceutical Services (KA1); Forensic Investigation and Prosecution (KA2);
Organisation and Management Skills (KA3);
Patient Care – Human and Veterinary (KA4);
Production of Pharmaceuticals and Other Health Supplies (KA5); Quality Analysis and Assessment (KA6);
Regulation of Products and Practice (KA7);
Research Work (KA8); and Supply Chain Management of Pharmaceuticals and Other Health Supplies (KA9).
The Production domain alone commands 54 credit units, underscoring the strong industrial preparation built into the curriculum.

From MUST to the International Space Station!
We are bursting with pride for Eng. Zaina Kalyankolo from FAST, a key mind behind the AI-powered ClimCam now orbiting Earth. Her achievement is a true testament to the power of science and technology at @MbararaUST.
Zaina helped design and calibrate the camera’s optical subsystem. She worked on configuring and aligning the optical sensors responsible for capturing high-quality environmental imagery and spectral data.
Her rigorous testing ensured the system could capture clear images under varying atmospheric conditions. These optics are central to the ClimCam mission, enabling the instrument to gather precise visual data for climate analysis. She worked with colleagues from Egypt, Kenya and Uganda (Kyambogo University, Soroti University)
Imagine a world where a simple scratch or routine surgery becomes deadly. That’s the reality of #AMR.
Let’s protect our medicine and our future. 🛡️
Use antibiotics responsibly. 💊💙
