Health Minister Aceng to Address the Nation on COVID-19

The UPDF has introduced Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection administered once every six months. Launched at Bombo Military Hospital, the initiative provides a convenient alternative to daily pills to help Uganda end HIV by 2030.

A measles outbreak has hit 20 districts in Uganda, resulting in 12 deaths and primarily affecting children under five. The Ministry of Health has announced a nationwide vaccination campaign for October 2026 to curb the spread of the contagious disease.

The UPDF’s OKOA MAISHA 26 medical outreach has delivered life-saving surgeries and essential screenings to hundreds of residents in Bulambuli. By providing free specialized care and cancer testing, the national army is simultaneously improving community health outcomes and strengthening public trust ahead of the exercise’s conclusion on April 25.
