Join the Discussion: Drowning in Uganda’s Lakeside Districts — Is it Reducing or Increasing?
@Makerere University School of Public Health, through the Centre for Trauma, Injury and Disability Prevention (@TRIADUnit), invites you to a research dissemination dialogue on drowning in Uganda’s lakeside districts.
The discussion will examine emerging evidence on whether drowning cases are reducing or increasing, the drivers behind these trends, and what this means for prevention, policy, and community safety in Uganda’s high-risk water environments.
The session is relevant for researchers, public health practitioners, policymakers, development partners, students, district leaders, and all stakeholders interested in injury prevention and water safety.
Join the conversation on 27 May 2026 from 12:30–2:00 PM by registering here: bit.ly/DrowningPreventioninU…

Good Morning @ProteaKampalaH.
This is to inform you that the pedestrian walkway on Upper Kololo terrace road is not a parking lot for your customers.
@KCCAUG constructs the pedestrian walkways for the safety of pedestrians and not as a parking lot.
Thank you.

As we commemorate #emergencymedicineday , we urge all stakeholders to prioritize strengthening Uganda's emergency care system. Injury related deaths and hospitalisations are rising. Let's emphasize prevention and quality care. #injuryprevention #emergencycare

You should also talk about Airtel trying to pattern with ug police to defraud us because how can my SIM card malfunction and after taking it to their service center they tell me to first get the police letter for swap when actually I am presenting to them the malfunctioning card😭

What is 'careless' walking?
According @PoliceUg traffic crash data, 249 pedestrians were knocked dead while 765 sustained serious injuries walking "carelessly" on the roads in 2022. For Us We Say Roads Are Just Not Safe For Pedestrians. If there were protected walkways, we believe figures would've been very
