President @KagutaMuseveni has assented to eight pieces of legislation, including the National Drug and Health Products Authority Act, 2026, which expands regulation across medicines, vaccines, medical devices, diagnostics, cosmetics, and other health products, strengthening safety and oversight.
Also assented to were the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, 2026, introducing mandatory energy standards, audits, and regulation of inefficient technologies, and the Non-Performing Assets Recovery Trust (Repeal) Act, 2024, which dissolves the Trust and transfers its functions to the Ministry of Finance to streamline operations.
The Employment (Amendment) Act, 2025 strengthens protections for domestic, casual, and migrant workers, while the Forensic and Scientific Analytical Services Act, 2026 enhances forensic systems and evidence handling. Other laws assented to include the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights (Amendment) Act, 2026, the Public Enterprises Reform and Divestiture (Amendment) Act, 2024, and the Magistrates Courts (Amendment) Act, 2026.
Dr. Asiimwe who is a consultant urologist at Mulago National Referral Hospital and Uganda's only transplant surgeon, further warned that if Parliament passes The Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, the Uganda Medical Association risks, itself risks deregistering some of its members or face criminal liability if the association receives or channels foreign funding for activities such as training grants, human rights advocacy, continuing professional development supported by international partners, and as such force the Association to be reluctant to engage in health advocacy.
“The association may become reluctant to engage in policy advocacy, which is part of what we are doing, litigation, which we are also doing, public discourse on issues related to health financing, labour rights, and governance. We are going to censure ourselves and may retract from these activities, and maybe that's the intention of the law, of the bill. This fear of sanctions under the bill will undermine the association's constitutional mandate to protect the interests of the medical professionals and advocate for better health care for all Ugandans,” said Dr. Asiimwe.
