Short 🧵 to summarise highlights of Hon @JaneRuth_Aceng remarks at #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy launch. “When communities are empowered, they can improve their own health, promote development and therefore economic growth”
“There is a limit to volunteerism. People need to be motivated to do what they do. And it is not just about payment, it is also about being equipped.”
“This strategy is an important plan to achieving UHC and our targets under the sustainable development goals. We have costed it at around 5 Billion Shillings per year, and we hope this budget will be approved”
“Spending on curative medicine is a bottomless pit. We need to emphasise prevention and empower communities to do this”
Always a stressful job to represent civil society and IPs but Christine killed it - thank you! @Living_Goods
Thanks to Christine Namayanja of @Living_Goods for representing implementing partners so ably at the #NationalCommunityHealthStrategy launch. As she said “we are all committed to the implementation of this strategy to the last mile”.
