This means that out of every 100 Patients that come to our health facilities,75 of us would not be there if we took personal responsibility for our health. As we grapple with the challenges of COVID-19 Pandemic, we add our voice to that of H. E the President of the Republic of Uganda and the Ministry of Health in urging you to do all that is within your means to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our Country.
