@bayloruganda was pleased to host #JamineWeiss, an Epidemiologist with CDC's International Infection Prevention and Control Branch, and Dr. @bongainville from the @USEmbassyUganda for discussions on strengthening Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) to support Uganda's ongoing #Ebola response.
Strong IPC measures are essential to protecting health workers, patients, and communities from infections. #PublicHealth #HealthSecurity
Numbers matter. But people matter more.
Every statistic represents a life touched, a family supported, and a community made stronger. As we look back on the past year, we're proud of the progress made and inspired by the work ahead.
Thank you to the @MinofHealthUG , our partners, and the communities we serve for making this impact possible. Together, we're creating healthier, stronger communities.

#Ebola can spread through breastfeeding.
If you have symptoms of #Ebola, call the Ministry of Health toll free line immediately for appropriate assistance.

Men who recover from #Ebola should avoid sex for at least 6 months or use condoms consistently and correctly.
This is because the virus can stay in semen even after recovery.

Africa is uniting to change the narrative on Sickle Cell Disease. 🌍
49 African states are gathered in Uganda for the Technical Validation & Launch Workshop of the Continental Plan for SCD and Other Rare Blood Disorders convened by Africa CDC.
“Africa carries over 70% of the global burden of SCD,” noted Dr. Mohammed Abdulaziz-Head of Division, Disease Control and Prevention @AfricaCDC, calling for scalable interventions to save lives.
Guest of Honor @JaneRuth_Aceng warned that Uganda has the 5th highest burden on the continent, adding: “We are losing children to a disease that is preventable and manageable, so we must act.”
@bayloruganda is honored to serve as the organizing partner contributing to this continental vision.
