Congratulations to the Uganda National Drug and Health Products Authority on the passing of the National Drug and Health Products Authority Bill, 2025.
The law expands the NRA’s oversight to include vaccines, diagnostics, and medical devices, while imposing tougher penalties on substandard and falsified medicinal products.
This is an important step toward safeguarding public health in the country and on the continent, ensuring access to safe, quality and efficacious medical products for patients in Africa.
The African Medicines Agency is proud of this great achievement. We look forward to closer collaboration with the NDA as we strengthen capacity for the regulation of medical products in Africa

Do you know your sugar levels?
His call to action against identity politics of religion, a pressing issue in Kisoro, also struck a chord. By urging us to transcend divisive politics and unite, he emphasized the importance of pan-Africanism in building a stronger, more harmonious community.
As a young leader, I'm committed to promoting unity and inclusive progress. Let's work together to build a brighter future for Kisoro, Uganda, and Africa.
Africa must unite, and it all starts with me and you!!!!
was his acknowledgment of the drug shortages in our health facilities. He assured us that measures are in place to prevent this, emphasizing that drugs are released from central stores and warning those involved in theft.
Still about 12.11 2024, I was honoured to have shared a moment with Uganda's President H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in Kisoro District!
His speech highlighted key areas of dev't such as roads, schools & tourism - but what resonated with me, as a health professional and pharmacist,
We have a unique opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in Africa.
If we unite as Africa, we shall build stronger and better health professions across the continent for ourselves. Let's carry forward our forefathers' legacy and strive for a united Africa!
On 12.11.2024, I was honored to be part of the team that welcomed Uganda's President, a champion of pan-Africanism and nationalism, to Kisoro District.
As we go about our professions, let's remember the importance of patriotism and pan-Africanism in building a united Africa.
I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Tito Mboweni, and to President Ramaphosa and the government and people of South Africa.
Tito Mboweni was a giant voice for Africa and a champion of continental integration. His counsel was invaluable in the effort of reforming the African Union, and in recent years he dedicated his energy to implementing the reform as chair of the AU Peace Fund. His legacy will live on for generations to come.
Together with my son, we had an exciting interaction with @AndreyOnana this morning. The @ManUtd goalkeeper is in Uganda for their @DiskiAfrika qualifier match against @Harambee__Stars of Kenya. As ardent @ManUtd fans, we are excited to see an African raising our continent’s flag at the biggest football club in the world. And I’m glad at the way he has settled in, and we are praying for his success.
On a lighter note, I informed him how I will make research to see if he has relatives in Uganda since the Bakiga originated from Cameroon.
I'm equally excited about the invitation he has extended to me and my son to watch him live in action at Old Trafford.
