Grateful to our incredible partners, speakers, student leaders, and every voice that helped turn conversations into impact at UNSHC 2026 ππ₯
The discussions may have ended, but the action continues.

A two-day National Students Health Conference (2nd Edition) under the theme: "From Awareness to Action; Institutionalizing the Students Health", held at Kyambogo University, attracted over five hundred student representatives from various Universities across the Country.
The Conference was sponsored by UNFPA, supported by several partners, including Uganda AIDS Commission.
Head HIV Prevention - UAC, Dr. Daniel Byamukama, joined a Panel of Resource Persons today to discuss a wide range of health related issues, including what young people need to do differently to avoid HIV infection.

π©Ίβ¨ The Chief Guest @kristineblokhus (@UNFPAUganda ) also highlighted a silent reality on many campuses; students avoiding health services because of stigma and fears around confidentiality.
A healthy campus must also be a safe and trusted space for every student ππ

ππ©Ί The Chief Guest emphasized that meaningful change in public health cannot happen without young people actively engaging in policy, leadership, and decision-making spaces.
From advocacy to political action, students were challenged to move beyond awareness to real driving.
