#HIV AIDS

The Ministry of Health and health partners have launched the Accelerating the Elimination of Vertical Transmission of HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis B in Uganda (ATESHHU) Project, a two-year intervention funded by the People’s Republic of China through ANECCA, to scale up integrated maternal screening, diagnosis, and treatment across the Busoga and Bunyoro sub-regions.

Speaker Jacob Marksons Oboth has defended Uganda’s transparent reporting of public health emergencies like HIV/AIDS and Ebola, calling open disclosure a global patriotic duty. During a parliamentary meeting with UK lawmaker Dr. Beccy Cooper, Speaker Oboth emphasized that safeguarding international health outweighs economic considerations.
