Rudi Veestraeten & Prof. Rhoda Wanyenze say: .improving health services demands that we give priority to young citizens.
We join the rest of the world in celebrating World Health Day today. We jointly want to formulate a few thoughts on this occasion, on behalf of all Heads of Mission of the European Union resident in Kampala.
First of all, we want today to acknowledge the long path Uganda has travelled in achieving better health for its population. Over the last decades, life expectancy has increased, infant and under-five mortality rates have decreased, and fewer women are dying during childbirth. Those are remarkable achievements, and as partners of Uganda in the health sector, we take particular pride in them.

Summary
Dr Fred Muhumuza, an economist and lecturer at Makerere School of Economics, said DR Congo was a growing market that Uganda needs to understand and consolidate, noting that the relative peace in the country compared to extremes of the past has allowed an increase in people’s incomes leading to a rise in demand for a variety of goods.

The education sector has been reeling since the forced shutdown of schools in March last year when the first cases of Covid-19 were registered in Uganda.
Government schools and institutions of higher learning have been partially shielded from the scourge because payroll kept coming, but the situation in private schools was worse as many schools (big and small) shed their payroll, leaving teachers without any resort, or assistance.
Scene of the day everywhere in the country is the same - quite humanising. Young children in the village telling you: “We stopped going to school.”
There is a district bursary grantee in my district about to start A-Level after topping the region in Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) and O-Level, supplying me with fish as he waits for his school to reopen so he can start A-Level.
