@IvanMuganga5 This resonates with the experiences of most Ugandans who are always on the lookout for better opportunities which in itself should not be considered an issue worthy of endless ethnic debate. Just table the evidence of his renunciation of Rwandan citizenship and we call it a day
@baryamureeba The committee accepted other nominees based on a promise to cancel other citizenships. But the same committee rejected Dr Muganga who made the exact same promise. This is victimisation & selective application of the same law against Dr Muganga mostly likely due to his Rwanda ties
@SheilahGashumba@ReachDrMuganga Why are some activists peddling an ethnic narrative yet Ugandans live with & study with & work with & love & marry Banyarwanda. The good Dr said he doesn't hold a Rwanda passport yet the committee claims that he does. This matter is easy to prove without dragging in ethnicity
@hbrizz1@faith_nabushawo@PharmacistsUg Membership of the @PharmacistsUg is a statutory and mandatory prerequisite for legal registration and designation as a Pharmacist in Uganda. Pharmacy technicians and any other category of dispensing staff are not pharmacists. Members of this association are not pharmacists
@ntvuganda A laboratory confirmed case - 1) detection of viral RNA via Reverse Transcriptase PCR 2) detection of virus specific IgM antibodies or antigens via ELISA 3) IgM & IgG serology 4) Ebola virus culture
Report cases in categories as suspected, probable, confirmed or non-case
@ntvuganda A contact - a person without any signs/symptoms having had physical contact with a case or body fluids of a case within the last 3 weeks.
Case fatality rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) x 100%
Weekly attack rate = (number of cases in a week / area population) x 100 000
@ntvuganda Case definitions for ebola are: 1) suspected/clinical case - person presenting with fever & signs of haemorrhage. 2) probable case - person in contact with a case of ebola and a history of fever +/- bleeding OR a person with a history of acute fever & 3 or more signs/symptoms
@JoshJosha1 No one is more experienced in managing, containment and ending public health emergencies than @MinofHealthUG
Let's embrace a leadership position to end the current outbreak, enforce preventive measures and accurate public communication led by @CHRISBARYOMUNS1 and @DianaAtwine
@nbstv@SNabakooza1 A graduate from a university cannot be expected to provide a professional service to a government without commensurate compensation. Internship is an apprenticeship where the graduate works under strict professional supervision but it's not a continuation of undergraduate study.
@AchomEmily I deeply feel for you for such a nasty experience. It's easy to blame the hospital as an institution but health services are provided by health professionals who are bound by a professional code of conduct & ethics. Then there's the issue of leadership, governance & supervision
@AfricaCDC This is what accurate reporting looks like. Thanks to Ambassador @adoniaayebare for directly reaching out to @AfricaCDC for this to happen. If the @MinofHealthUG stays engaged with key stakeholders the way WHO DG @DrTedros is on the ground in DRC misinformation will have no place
@AcayeKerunen@MinofHealthUG Ebolavirus requires Biosafety Level 4 containment measures & facilities. It's not like malaria or typhoid that you can be treated as an outpatient. The clinical protocols for management of an EVD case are stringent because it's highly transmissible and infectious. Go to hospital
@MinofHealthUG Wear a mask to cover the mouth & nose. Wear goggles to protect the eyes. Keep at least 30cm from other people especially when talking. Do not touch any public surfaces like tables, benches or guard rails. Wash hands with soap and running water or use alcohol handrub to sanitize.
@JustineLumumba@MinofHealthUG@UgandaMediaCent The Ebola Response Team should execute a serious Risk Communication Strategy to counter this misinformation both within Uganda and in the international media. The @UgandaMediaCent should lead this with factual technical support from the @MinofHealthUG and our Diplomatic Corp
@SpireJim The real issue is the false information and data in the international media about Uganda. @MinofHealthUG needs to implement a deliberate risk communication strategy to counter this by presenting accurate facts in the best possible believable way however bad such facts may sound
