According to @DrMusenero the major setback in advancing discussions on natural therapeutics in UG has been the absence of clear players and laws. She illustrated the roles needed to drive progress from the herbalist to the industrialists. @brucekirenga @Lung_Institute @AfricaCDC

Principal Professor @brucekirenga welcomed the freshers to @MakerereCHS. "Celebrate your being here because many wanted to but weren’t lucky". He advised students to work hard, avoid retakes, concentrate on studies, avoid side hustles, and trust in God. #FreshersOrientation2025

The ICER Co-Chair @SabiitiwWilber appeals to @AfricaCDC and partners to support countries to conduct serological and ecological studies where feasible. These are key to understanding transmission dynamics, immunity gaps, and guiding vaccine strategy. @mfallah1969 @Lung_Institute

Mpox isn’t just a health crisis, it’s a research opportunity. Uganda, through ICER, is building Africa led evidence to shape global Mpox policy and vaccine strategy. Science rooted in the region, shared with the world. @MinofHealthUG @MinofHealthUG @brucekirenga @SabiitiwWilber
