❝Parliament has a critical role in strengthening Uganda’s health system through legislation, budgeting, and oversight. As members of the parliamentary committee on health, we need evidence from communities and health facilities to inform our decisions and advocate for the changes needed. I encourage partners and CSOs to share concise evidence briefs that can guide our work. Together, we can address gaps in service delivery, strengthen support for people living with HIV, and empower community health workers who play a vital role in reaching communities.❞ ~ Hon. Miriam Mukhaye, Woman Member of Parliament for Mbale District and Member of the Committee on Health, Parliament of Uganda, speaking during a meeting aimed at developing Minimum Human Rights Standards for the Integration of HIV-Related Services. #TBHIVHumanRights

We’ve convened members of the Coalition to Stop Maternal Mortality Due to Unsafe Abortion (@CSMMUA_) for the quarterly coalition meeting. The meeting is providing a platform for members to reflect on progress made during the first half of 2026, share best practices, and strengthen collaboration in addressing emerging challenges affecting women and girls’ reproductive health and rights. From this meeting, we are collectively identifying priorities for the remaining second half of the year, developing strategies to navigate the current policy environment, and reinforcing alignment across the coalition’s thematic areas. #NoWomenShouldDieGivingLife #SafeAndLegalWay

Medical Interns - Reflecting on my experience of my late sister in ICU 2 years ago, only medical interns gave us the undivided attention when we needed it most. A policy that demotivates them is a huge risk to our already struggling health system! @MinofHealthUG

Pregnancy and childbirth should never put a woman’s life or dignity at risk. Delays in care, lack of support, and mistreatment can lead to preventable tragedies. Every woman deserves respectful, timely, and quality maternal healthcare. #CentreforWomenJusticeUganda

Nurses remain the backbone of healthcare systems worldwide, serving on the frontlines of hospitals, emergency rooms, clinics, and humanitarian crises. The work of Nurses strengthens families, supports communities and keeps Health Systems moving forward. As healthcare systems continue to face staffing shortages and rising pressure globally, #InternationalNursesDay serves as both a tribute to the profession and a reminder of its critical role in saving lives every day. Today we celebrate all the nurses in the world for their courage, compassion, professionalism and innovation towards improving access to health care.

"My Body, My Choice" isn't just a slogan—it’s a fundamental right. Every young person deserves the autonomy to decide if, when, and how they want to start a family. When we respect bodily autonomy, we empower leaders. #MyChoice #Voices4Girls #EndUnsafeAbortions @FarajaAfricaFdn

Nearly every indigenous NGO, and many private not-for-profit (PNFP) hospitals, would be classified as "foreign agents" because they are funded by development funding, most of it coming from donors outside the country. This creates a theoretical paradox where the state designates its primary partners in human capital development as potential threats to sovereignty. As Civil Society, therefore recommend that the Sovereignty Bill be completely abandoned at this stage because external financing is already regulated, and any proposed changes can be achieved by way of modification in the existing legal framework without compromising constitutional freedoms and economic development. #SovereignityBill2026 #DustTheSovereignityBill

The Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD) has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Sovereignty Bill 2026, focusing on the role of external financing in supporting the Human Capital Development Programme, particularly the health sub-programme. As the role of civil society in defending the rights and interests of the most vulnerable cannot be overlooked, through legal support, policy and legislative reforms, raising awareness on the rights and responsibilities of both citizens and the State, and advocating for an inclusive and progressive society, it was important to convene Civil Society Organizations to examine the implications of the Bill. Together, we assessed its proposed restrictions on NGO financing frameworks and their potential impact on health systems, human capital development, and Uganda’s broader national development goals. #SovereigntyBill2026

“While transparency and accountability in civil society financing are legitimate regulatory aims, the current design of the #SovereigntyBill2026 risks undermining constitutional freedoms. It duplicates existing safeguards, may create a chilling effect on civil society and development work, and could weaken the health system’s financing architecture. There is also concern that it may generate adverse developmental outcomes and reverse progress made on key health indicators, as well as affect other sub-programmes such as education and social protection”. ~ Our Deputy ED @Nakibuukam gives an analysis of the Bill. #DustTheSovereignityBill

LIRA Partners attending High Court Kampala for the ruling in PAC Case, HCMC No.159 of 2025. The Ruling was not ready. Matter has been adjourned to 15th June 2026 @12:00pm #LIRAProgramme @afyanahakiug @cehurduganda @mamacash @themamanetwork

If information was accessible, would unsafe abortions still be this common? If safe spaces existed, would so many young people feel lost? We’re about to shake this conversation. #Voices4Girls #EndUnsafeAbortions
