At the 20th Joint Annual Scientific Health Conference and 2nd Annual Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Conference 2026 at Speke Resort Munyonyo, we called for unified action across Government, academia, the private sector and communities to strengthen disease prevention and improve healthcare delivery.
We must prioritise primary healthcare, immunisation, early screening, healthy lifestyles and research-driven interventions to reduce preventable deaths. Let us turn scientific evidence into practical action to build a healthier, more productive population and support Uganda’s Tenfold Growth ambition. #MoHatWork

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) on the spike in human health as common antibiotics are becoming less effective against infections, making treatment difficult, costly and prolonged hospital stay.

🦠EPIDEMIC RESPONSE: Strengthening Ebola Virus Screening.
We’ve received thermal scanners to strengthen screening at key border entry points as Uganda steps up efforts to prevent the spread of Ebola into the country.
The Permanent Secretary, Dr. Diana Atwine, received the equipment from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) at the Ministry’s HQs today, in the presence of the Director General of Health Services, Prof. Charles Olaro.
As part of these efforts, Dr. Atwine also conducted a spot inspection at Entebbe International Airport to assess screening arrangements, identify possible gaps and reinforce strict public health screening procedures.

Today, together with colleagues from the Kingdom leadership, I had the honour of meeting with the Vice Chancellor of Mountains of the Moon University, @MMU_Uganda Professor Pius Amooti Achanga @Pius_Achanga and his team.
Our discussions centred on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which provides a framework for deeper collaboration between the University and Tooro Kingdom in research, education and skills development, particularly in agriculture, tourism and environmental sciences.
A key area of focus is expanding educational opportunities for the people of Tooro, including exploring scholarship opportunities for deserving and talented young people.
We also discussed the University’s potential to support the Kingdom’s broader development agenda through research, environmental conservation, tourism development, community enterprise, cultural heritage preservation and community development.
The opportunities that can come from this relationship are countless, and this partnership is long overdue. By bringing together the University’s knowledge and expertise with the Kingdom’s development priorities, we can create meaningful opportunities for our young people and contribute to a more prosperous and sustainable Tooro.
I look forward to seeing this partnership move from commitment to action.

I am honoured to represent the Kingdom of Tooro and to visit a university that is a great source of pride for our Kingdom, providing quality tertiary education and creating valuable employment opportunities for our people.
The opportunities that can arise from a stronger relationship between the Kingdom and the university are countless. This is a partnership whose time has truly come, and one that is long overdue.
I look forward with great anticipation to being part of this historic occasion and to exploring how we can build a lasting relationship that benefits our people, our institutions and the wider Kingdom of Tooro.
Tomorrow, Friday, 16th October 2026, we will host the Prime Minister of Tooro Kingdom, Owek. Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki, and his delegation at Mountains of the Moon University’s Lake Saaka Campus for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MMU and Tooro Kingdom.
Through this partnership, we look forward to strengthening collaboration in promoting Tooro’s rich cultural heritage, advancing the development and welfare of its people, and exploring future opportunities that will contribute to the growth of Tooro and the wider region.

UNAIDS helped found the GIPA principle, putting the meaningful involvement of people living with HIV at the heart of the HIV response.
Florence Riako Anam (@floriako), Co-Executive Director of @gnpplus, reflects on how UNAIDS has helped turn that principle into practice, supporting people living with and affected by HIV to have a voice in governance, decision-making and policy, from global to country level.
