Kind reminder to self:
I was made for softness. I will not take pride in suffering to show that I am a strong resilient woman. I am not a rock. I am not steel. I am soft. Literally and figuratively. I will crumble at the sight of suffering.
WHY EVERYONE LOVES MIRIA MATEMBE:
——————————————————
See, Dr. Miria Matembe reminds almost everyone of their mother; the typical African Mother. Unpredictable, Fearless, Risky, Hilarious, in between being Mean and being Angelic.
-The kind of mother you ask after eating, “Mummy where should I put the plate,?” And she says, “Put it on my head.”
-The kind of mother who hears/sees you break a glass plate and gives you another ten plates saying, “Break these ones too, we no longer need them.”
-The kind of mother who attempts to slap your face and when you protect your face with your hands, she calls her brothers (your uncles) and says, “If you fine me dead just know your nephew finished me; isn’t he the one who now has beards and a deep voice?”
-That mother who would beat you blue black but should any teacher beat you at school, the headmaster, teacher on duty, bursar and Askari would have to leave the country until she stops coming to school to ask, “Who wanted to kill my child.”
-The kind of mother who would see you accept a piece of meat from the visitor and give you that look with a pointed mouth-the look that would make you go to wash plates, mop the toilets and slash the compound at night without being told to.
-A disciplinarian with unmatched motherly love, a pillar in her family, the one who keeps the home together and the one who praises God like they have ever met face to face.
That’s why we love Miria Matembe. We see our mothers in her.
3 vasectomies done so far today.
None of them was mobilized, but rather walk ins.
All of them financially stable with peaceful families.
All of them doing it because they don’t want their wives to suffer with “side effects of contraceptives”
All of them sure that they don’t want any more kids.
Permanent methods of contraception are really becoming highly adopted and preferred by Ugandans.
Having any questions? DM is open.
BREAKING: Angry locals tried to forcibly take the body of man believed to have died of Ebola in northeastern DRC. 2 tents treating patients were set on fire.
Some believe that Ebola is a "white man's disease" though it often spreads at funerals. Uganda has suspended DRC flights

The women beside you are dressed like ordinary professionals, you are wrapped in regal extravagance while preaching against corruption.
In our country where millions struggle to survive, this is not just extravagance. It is a loss of shame. You will be remembered for greed, abuse of power, and Machiavellian dishonesty. What a sad legacy.
BREAKING: A joint security team led by the CID, with support from @MODVA_UPDF and other security agencies, has raided former Speaker @AnitahAmong’s residence following a corruption probe into alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering.

"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
About 3 years ago,partners in the PAC space identified a major gap- Uganda had no national technical working group for post-abortion care.Through sustained advocacy, the @MinofHealthUG responded by establishing a PAC Steering Committee to improve coordination and leadership in this area.

One key challenge we saw was confusion between post-abortion care and induced abortion. In a restrictive legal environment,this misunderstanding created fear and stigma among providers,sometimes making them hesitant to offer even legally permitted emergency care

The @MinofHealthUG is now rolling out national training through LMNS regions to equip more providers with PAC skills. While this is a major step forward,challenges remain around resources,rural access & ensuring consistent quality of care nationwide.
