Last quarter, we supported 28 @MinofHealthUG -accredited health facilities to circumcise 9,728 (116% of the quarterly target of 8,402) men through static and outreach models. This translated to a cumulative total of 24,154 circumcised men a 73% achievement against the 33,607 annual target. Of the 9,728 males circumcised, 8,292 males were tested for HIV/AIDS.

#Day4 of the Senior Management Visit to USAID LPHS-EC Project sites in the East Central region, today we conclude the weeklong program with Kamuli Cluster Meeting.
We have held courtesy and protocol calls to districts of implementation. The visits have been handy in taking stock of the project gains and reflecting on the new financial year.
It was a pleasure spending the entire Tuesday with @MJAPUg staff in Bugiri and Iganga clusters of the #USAIDLPHS-EC Activity, as we reflect on new innovations ๐ก that we need to embrace in the new program year.
Today the Senior Management Team (SMT) visited the USAID LPHS-EC Activity duty stations in Iganga and Bugiri cluster. The management team is conducting briefings to field teams on the current leadership transition for the USAID LPHS-EC Activity, brief on staff operations, performance, and welfare issues. The team has also conducted courtesy calls to the District Health Officers (DHOs) of Bugiri and Iganga District to strengthen working relationships with the districts.
Cultivating a culture where learning from each other is part of the standard ways of working, today we are sharing program performance updates with the @usmissionuganda team and also receiving feedback as regards to the SIMS assessment concluded at different facilities.
Together with our Partners @KNUSTGH, yesterday we visited one of the hospital participating in the EIPHIV capacity building program in Ghana. The teams shared alot of amazing experiences as regards to the IPE training, thanks to our funders @StripeHiv, @IGHSatUCSF, @HRSAgov.
Our scientists have engaged in an informative Podcast highlighting the Unit's contribution to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Stay tuned for the release of this upcoming podcast.

Such impactful strides in Lesotho are inspiring! As someone in Uganda, I'm thrilled to witness cross-border efforts like these in the fight against HIV. Kudos to @EGPAF for championing treatment continuity and supporting MOH's initiatives! #UequalsU#EndAIDS ๐
โNo one actively questioned the presence of an active reservoir, but here [the researchers] find evidence that it might in fact matter.โ
