We're saddened to report the passing of Dr Fred Kigozi, @primerpc#Uganda PI. We wish his colleagues at @MakerereU and his loved ones peace and healing during this very difficult time. Dr Kigozi was an unwavering champion for #mentalhealth in #Africa and he will be sorely missed.
PRIME is being showcased as an innovation at the #MHinAfrica2019 conference at @wellcometrust! Honoured to be included together with innovations from around the continent!
