During the national commemorations, Mrs. Laura Ahumuza, a Senior Nutritionist at the @MinofHealthUG, presented two critical guidelines: the National Human Milk Banking Guidelines and the Nutrition Guidelines for Children with Feeding Disabilities.

The 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 set the standards for safely collecting, screening, and distributing donated breastmilk ensuring vulnerable infants who cannot access their mother's milk still get the nutrition they need to survive and thrive.

The 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 provide clear, practical guidance for health workers and caregivers supporting children who face feeding challenges ensuring their unique nutritional needs are recognized and met, not overlooked.

Together, these guidelines close critical gaps in Uganda's nutrition response. They matter because nutrition services must work for all children no child should be left behind.

A significant milestone for nutrition in Uganda 🇺🇬

The Guest of Honour, Dr. Richard Mugahi, officially closed the event with the national launch of three important nutrition guidelines and tools: the Human Milk Banking Guidelines, Nutrition in Disability Guidelines, and the Nutrient Profile Model (NPM).

Each tool addresses a different part of Uganda’s nutrition landscape:

🔹 Human Milk Banking Guidelines — strengthening standards for the safe collection, processing, storage and provision of donated human milk.

🔹 Nutrition in Disability Guidelines — promoting more inclusive nutrition services that recognise the specific needs of people living with disabilities.

🔹 Nutrient Profile Model — providing a scientific basis for assessing the nutritional composition of foods and supporting healthier food environments.

Together, these tools translate nutrition policy into practical action, strengthening health systems, protecting vulnerable populations and supporting better nutrition outcomes for Ugandans across the life course.

@C_Care_Uganda Services at C Care Lira are too slow especially in the lab section. How can a patient wait for over 3 hours at a private facility?
