I have this wild idea. One in three Ugandan children is stunted. We have plenty of milk we can't sell. Can we give it school children? Happy farmers, businesses, children, schools, and healthier children.

The only 2 Paediatricians were so won out. *"You know there are no interns* one said. Several nursing students doing the little they knew. It was like a war zone. Then we have people still keeping 2000 skilled health workers at home refusing to pay them! A mad country.

In Jinja children's hospital today. The wards were crazy: 282 hospitalised with 45 admitted overnight. The Emergency unit was a disaster zone; 3 children on oxygen on each available cot, several in coma, others receiving blood, one mother wailing "Omwana afa, leka ntwala eka".

It is painful how we treat our young. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients but 2000 highly trained people are at parents homes b'se MoFPED cut the MoH budget. #DonotcutMoH budget.

Thank you Rt Hon Deputy Speaker for the walk against malaria and the blood donation. Uganda needs 450,000 units of blood a year but UBTS is struggling to collecct 300,000 annually Your example is timely.

I wrote this 10 yrs ago. The problem has now ballooned; so many children of middle income parents in high end schools coming to hospital with conversion disorders. Pressure to achieve is so high, children hardly sleep, dont play, are so stressed & are falling apart. Lets wake up.

It is getting late but so many vehicles and hundreds of people are still lined up on either side waiting to cross the Nile at Laropi. For how long will this suffering in west nile continue? #ConstructLaropiBridgeNo @nbstv @ntvuganda @UNRA_ED @UNRA_UG @OfwonoOpondo @NRMOnline

Our Target this year as Moroto Regional Referral hospital is to perform 1000 eye surgeries. We are kickstarting with a camp at the facility this week. Don’t be left out. Don’t suffer with visual impairment that can be rectified. At your service!

#ConstructLaropiBridgeNow The original 16 district HQs s in Uganda except Moyo are now cities. Poverty in W/Nile is due to isolation. Moyo town is still thesize of a s/county HQ due to isolation. W/Nile districts are the poorest in Uganda due of isolation.#ConstructLaropiBridgeNo
