@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

[Baylor Foundation Uganda @bayloruganda]

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.

Health workers, your safety matters. Strictly adhere to Infection, Prevention and Control measures at all times.

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.

Africa takes center stage in the fight against Sickle Cell Disease and other rare blood disorders.

From 11–13 May 2026, @AfricaCDC will convene a high-level continental workshop in Uganda to validate and launch the Continental Plan for SCD and Other Rare Blood Disorders, bringing together Ministries of Health, scientists, clinicians, civil society, development partners, and global health experts from across Africa.

With the continent carrying over 70% of the global burden of SCD, this marks a defining moment for coordinated African action, stronger health systems, and improved care outcomes.

Guest of Honor: @JaneRuth_Aceng

@bayloruganda is honored to serve as the organizing partner and contribute to advancing the shared continental vision of this landmark initiative.
