The #APTSepsis trial has led to a 32% reduction in infection-related maternal mortality & severe morbidity! Success comes from a 3-part intervention: hand hygiene, best infection practices & FAST-M sepsis bundle. Saving lives in Uganda and Malawi #AtTheEquqtorUG #SepsisAwareness

@apt_sepsis team members @JoelLwasa & @PeaceOkwaro sharing with over 950 midwives & healthcare workers across Uganda how simple sustained behavioural change to prevent, & identify infection & prevent sepsis. Looking forward to seeing reduced morbidity and mortality through this.

It was a privilege to represent the @apt_sepsis @IDIMakerere team this morning at the postpartum haemorrhage national safe motherhood experts sub-committee meeting at @UNFPAUganda. Advances are being made but too many mothers continue to die. #AtTheEquatorUG

Kamuganga Sarah wants Justice for her daughter deceased Melissa Aneza The family's world stopped on November 4th, 2025, when Kamuganga Sarah’s biological daughter, Melissa Aneza, went missing while returning to school. Every search effort hit a cold dead end. On November 10th, 2025, her body was tragically discovered in Kyampisi, Mukono district. The details of the crime are horrifying and demand immediate action: • Melissa’s face was mutilated beyond recognition. • Her arms were broken, and her eyes were plucked out. • She was strangled and suffocated with her own sock, which was found around her neck. • Her body showed extensive bruising, as if she had been burnt with hot water. We cannot fathom the mission of these killer(s), but we know they are still walking free. Kamuganga Sarah is devastated, and she is speaking out now for accountability. Today, we join Kamuganga Sarah to demand justice for her innocent child. We must ensure these murderers are brought to book. This cruelty cannot continue—today it is Melissa, tomorrow it could be anyone else. Please, Retweet until she gets justice #JusticeForMelissaAneza @PoliceUg
