I became Uganda's first wildlife veterinarian in 1996, there were only about 650 mountain gorillas left in the world.
Today, there are over 1,063.
We are proud to have contributed to this positive growth trend though our #OneHealth approach to conservation. One of my first cases as the first Veterinary Officer of @ugwildlife was a scabies outbreak in the mountain gorillas. I learned that we cannot protect gorillas without caring for the people who live next to them.
Through
@CTPHuganda we started to Improve health care for families around Bwindi, so diseases like scabies don't pass from people to gorillas.
We train Village Health and Conservation Teams and Gorilla Guardians to monitor both human and gorilla health. We also help communities find livelihoods like Gorilla Conservation Coffee, so the forest becomes a benefit, not a burden. When communities are healthy, gorillas are healthy. That is One Health.
I am humbled to be named a Top 5
@CNN Hero for this work. The winner is decided by your vote.
Please vote at: CNN.com/Heroes 10 votes every day until November 29th.

2. What broke between March – October 2026? ( Factors)...
3.Why this kills shilling more than war... #UgandaEconomy #Uganda

When you as a woman realise that every culture has their definition of ‘prostitute’—the woman with her hair out, the unmarried woman, women who live alone, who wear red lipstick, who work, etc—you will understand that prostitute means woman, & you will fight for your liberation.

The now-deceased Tooro kingdom leader visited some high-end hospitals in Kampala after feeling persistent backpain. X-rays, MRI scans later, they told him they saw nothing.
Being a person of means, he flew to a hospital in Nairobi where he was diagnosed with cancer. A year later he was dead. What did the doctors in Nairobi see that the Kampala ones couldn’t?
Well, Nairobi has a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan or a few. Kampala and the whole of Uganda don’t. A PET scan costs about $3m (Shs 11.7bn) or approximately 17 Land Cruisers.
If there was a meeting of government officials, you would run out of space to park them. That is how many we have in Uganda but a PET Scan is not something we have been able to buy and install yet.

When medically necessary, caesarean sections can make the difference between life and death for mothers and babies.
But even though caesarean sections have become very safe in many parts of the world, they remain complex medical interventions, with risks and a recovery that can be challenging.
Miss World #Uganda Muhoza Trivia Elle’s “Layers of Life” gown tells that story in a unique and powerful way: raising awareness of the realities of caesarean section childbirth while celebrating the strength of mothers who have experienced it.

The outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in Uganda is over, a World Health Organization official said in a briefing on Wednesday, as she warned that cases continue to rise in Democratic Republic of Congo. reuters.com/business/healthc…
I raise you Uganda…..
I honestly doubt there is another struggling country where a Parliament full of chronically underperforming MPs can pocket KSh 739,600 every month while the nation sinks deeper into debt.
Let that sink in.
Ordinary Kenyans are being squeezed by punitive taxes, rising electricity costs, expensive food, unaffordable healthcare and endless new levies, while their representatives live like minor gods in a collapsing economy.
We have a government that claims there is no money to properly fund hospitals, employ enough doctors, equip schools or protect struggling families.
But somehow, there is always money for political luxury.
The problem is not that Kenya is poor.
The problem is that Kenya’s resources have been captured by a political class that believes sacrifice is for the taxpayer and comfort is for the politician.
A country drowning in debt cannot continue financing a political elite as if it were an economic superpower.
