Political parties today should implement internal programs to mentor young people and create platforms for capacity building. The dialogue on electoral reforms must be prioritized, and there should be a stronger push for greater youth representation in Parliament. - @EBukirwa, Youth Politician

Good morning Uganda. Today is 1/12/2024, we commmemorate World AIDS Day. I want to celebrate all the people that have contributed in different ways to enable PLHIVs have access to better healthcare services. *Together we can END AIDS by 2030*

[ICWEAAt20 @ICWEastAfrica]

It is crucial to remember that when one person has TB, their neighbors are at risk. Testing, treating, & ultimately eradicating TB are imperative.

Yes! We can End TB in Uganda.

[Evelyn Bukirwa @EBukirwa]

⁦@TASOUganda⁩ ⁦@aidscommission⁩ ⁦@ICWEastAfrica⁩…Surely Mr. President, couldn’t you find better words to communicate? There are no AIDS people in Uganda. But People Living with HIV. The phrase ‘AIDS people’ not only lacks sensitivity but so stigmatizing👩‍🦯

[Evelyn Bukirwa @EBukirwa]

Yes, we need to embrace DSD models to enhance access to HIV, TB & Malaria svcs to the general population

[ICWEAAt20 @ICWEastAfrica]

The #CmmunityScoreCard report reveals a positive outlook on TB services in the 53 districts studied. Nonetheless, we face challenges like limited infrastructure, human resources and logistics.

We must empower community structures & embrace differentiated care models for TB.

Happening Now!

A national #CommunityScoreCard (CSC) Report dissemination meeting is underway.

The meeting focuses on the presentation of the CSC Report, which is a crucial element of the efforts to enhance community-based monitoring for accountability in 53 targeted districts.

We are recognizing the role that women play in HIV prevention & treatment while we are encouraging young women to take on leadership roles.

MT @UNYPA1: I found out that I was HIV-positive when I was 13 years old, but I had already started my ART treatment at the age of 9. - shared @RuthAkulu during a discussion on the untold story of a life on ART at the #YPlusSummit23 which is currently ongoing.

This is one of the so many such stories especially from South Western Uganda where ICWEA is supporting 18 districts on TB Contact Tracing & we are very greatful @TASO GMU for funding our TBCT interventions in Ankole & Kigezi regions🙏

In addition, there’s need to strengthen Malaria case management at community level- VHTs play a big role but most of them are incapacitated! They need to be provided with refresher trainings to enhance their capacity

[ICWEAAt20 @ICWEastAfrica]

As we prepare to commemorate #WorldMalariaDay 🦟, we need to address the issue of the nationwide stockout of anti-malarial drugs affecting many people.
During the dissemination of the Community Score Card on the accessibility of health services for HIV, TB, & malaria,..👇
