The 5th National Safe Motherhood Conference, held under the theme “Strengthening Multisectoral collaboration and mutual accountability for safe motherhood” is underway at @spekeresort.

The conference was officially opened by the Queen of Buganda, Her Royal Highness, Nnaabagereka Sylvia Nagginda. She noted that safe motherhood is not only a medical issue but a moral imperative.

The Commissioner for Reproductive and Infant Health, Dr. Richard Mugahi, @rmugahi99 informed that obstetric haemorrhage has remained the leading cause of maternal death followed by hypertensive disorders.
He also noted that 12 regions had reduced number of maternal deaths in their health facilities compared to 2024 with Bugisu region reporting the highest reduction.
However, Kampala consistently had the highest number of maternal deaths in the health facilities for the last three years.

Participants will discuss best practices and innovations to improve safe motherhood outcomes over the next two days.

The conference is attended by health workers, local Government representatives, Partners and technical officers. The ambassador for Postpartum Haemorrhage, Mrs. Charlotte Kainerugaba is also in attendance. #NSMC2025|#MOHatWork

In Uganda, one in five children don’t complete primary school. Schools are often under-resourced, and children lack access to quality learning, especially in emergencies.

To address these challenges, @savechildrenug takes a holistic, multi-sectoral approach that prioritises children’s rights and wellbeing, and strengthens education systems.

Save the Children believes that all children should receive a quality, inclusive and safe education, and children themselves tell us the same – that their right to education is their most pressing issue.

We know that working together creates impact, and by working with local communities, partners and children and their families, we can create positive change for children in Uganda.

As Chair of Save the Children’s Africa Advisory Board, I am dedicated to working alongside Save the Children to raise the voices of children and to fight for their right to an education. This #WorldEducationDay, I hope you’ll join us in this mission.

The African Union year of education is a historic moment - and couldn't come at a better time.

In 2050, 1 in every 4 people will be African and education will be crucial to unleash the continent's potential for a green, prosperous and stable future.

The #ClimateCrisis threatens everyone, but for children impacted by armed conflict, forced displacement & other protracted crises, needs are even more dire.

@EduCannotWait appeals for $150M to scale #ECW response to #ClimateChange!

@winfredjaan , Representative from @savechildrenug - Uganda should be intentional in investing in child centered programs, health care and human capital development. Prioritize and ensure that the budget is responsive to the needs of the vulnerable people in the community.

[Save the Children Uganda @savechildrenug]

We call upon @GovUganda to repurpose the FY2024/25 budget towards enhancing Primary Health Care to cater for training, retooling, and more integrated outreaches to hard-to-reach areas to enable young people access health information and services. Collins-Peer educator #UGBUDGET24

Adolescence, a period of rapid growth and consequently of increased nutritional demands isn't prioritised.

Thus the need for evidence-based interventions to inform policy decisions on adolescent nutrition.

what are your thoughts on adolescent nutrition in urban areas?
