Science, then🙏

Medical interns are not merely trainees; they are qualified graduates delivering essential patient care under supervision. Globally, the norm is to remunerate them—not require them to self-finance mandatory service. Investing in interns is investing in the future of a country’s health system. Encouraging to see Government reconsidering this policy direction. Glad Hon. Dr. Chris gets it. 🙏🏻👏👍💪

This outbreak will not be contained by medical response alone; it requires safe access, community trust, and a “Corridor of Peace” to allow responders to reach affected communities. This was my message yesterday during the high-level ministerial discussion on the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak, convened with H.E. Hadja Lahbib (@hadjalahbib), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) and Ministers from affected and at-risk countries. In eastern DRC, insecurity, population mobility and access constraints are complicating surveillance, contact tracing, case management, safe burials and community engagement. @AfricaCDC is working with Member States, @WHO, the European Union, the @_AfricanUnion and partners to strengthen coordination, support frontline responders and reduce the risk of further spread. #AfricaResponds #AfricaCDC #EbolaResponse #HealthSecurity

I was pleased to meet with H.E. Ambassador Parrs today to discuss the ongoing Ebola outbreak and preparations for the High-Level Meeting of African Heads of State and Partners. We exchanged views on the evolving response and the importance of sustained collaboration to strengthen surveillance, preparedness, and coordinated action across the continent. I welcomed the United States’ (@US_AU) continued engagement with Africa CDC at this critical moment. Ebola knows no borders. By working together and supporting African-led solutions, we can contain this outbreak and build stronger systems to protect future generations. ----- J’ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer aujourd’hui S.E. l’Ambassadeur Parrs afin d’échanger sur l’épidémie d’Ebola en cours et les préparatifs de la Réunion de haut niveau des Chefs d’État africains et des partenaires. Nous avons échangé nos points de vue sur l’évolution de la riposte ainsi que sur l’importance d’une collaboration soutenue pour renforcer la surveillance, la préparation et l’action coordonnée à travers le continent. J’ai salué l’engagement continu des États-Unis aux côtés d’Africa CDC en cette période critique. L’Ebola ne connaît pas de frontières. En travaillant ensemble et en soutenant des solutions portées par l’Afrique, nous pouvons contenir cette épidémie et bâtir des systèmes plus solides pour protéger les générations futures. #AfricaResponds

@KCCAUG's Ebola Surveillance Team Lead and graduate of the U.S.-supported Field Epidemiology Training Program, Dr. Alex Ndyabakira, trained some of the U.S. Embassy’s teams on Ebola screening, prevention, and early detection as part of Uganda's National Response Plan. The U.S. is pleased to support the Ugandan government in promoting community awareness in health and life-saving prevention practices. #FightEbolaUG26 #Freedom250

Supported by @USForeignAssist, IOM 🇺🇬 has handed over health equipment to @MinofHealthUg to strengthen traveler health checks at Entebbe International Airport. Worth USD 199,000, the donation will enhance early detection and prevention of #Ebola.

@CHRISBARYOMUNS1 World Health Organization needs to urgently revise their Public Health Emergency of International concern declaration given the fact there has been no Ebola confirmed cases in the last one week. As @KagutaMuseveni explained , there no new cross border cases . The visit of @DrTedros and his statement that Uganda has managed the Ebola situation very well is another reason @WHO should act now so that the rest of the World can rift these punitive travel restrictions that are killing our economy.

When I first became a parent to boys, all I hoped for was that they would grow up surrounded by love, care, stability, and happiness. Over the years, they have grown into kind, caring, funny, thoughtful young men, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. But parenting teenage boys has taught me something I didn’t fully appreciate when they were little. As boys grow older, they start testing boundaries. They question rules. They push back. They want more independence. Sometimes they seem absolutely convinced that their parents know nothing at all. And while love remains essential, I’ve come to realise that boys also benefit from hearing certain messages from other voices they respect—people who can reinforce values, challenge excuses, model responsibility, and sometimes say exactly what mum has been saying all along, but in a way that lands differently. It has made me reflect on something simple: We spend years making sure our boys are educated but, how much time do we actually spend intentionally preparing them for manhood? Who is helping them navigate responsibility, relationships, resilience, emotional intelligence, character, and purpose? Who is helping prepare them for adulthood and for the harsh world out there? I’d love to hear from parents, mentors, educators, and young men themselves. What experiences, conversations, or people had the greatest impact on helping you become the person you are today? And for parents, what has raising teenage boys taught you? #Sharedstories #RisingSonsAfrica #BuildingBoysShapingMen #MentorshipMatters

Here are five key takeaways from President @KagutaMuseveni's address on the #Ebola outbreak: 1) Collaboration with #DRC is critical for outbreak control. 2) Public health measures protect people, families and communities. 3) It is possible to stop Ebola with early detection of cases. 4) Point of entry screening and postponing travel plans will prevent further cross-border transmission. 5) Faith-based leaders have a vital role to play in response efforts 👇🏿
