World Malaria Day 2026

Uganda continues to carry one of the world’s highest malaria burdens with an estimated 13.2 million cases in 2024, contributing 4.7% of global malaria cases.

But we are also among the three African countries leading the way with a national performance framework under the Yaoundé Declaration, showing our commitment to ending malaria for good.

we stand with our communities to:
• Strengthen early testing and treatment
• Protect mothers and children
• Promote vaccine uptake
• Support prevention through nets and indoor spraying

Together, we can reduce the burden. Together, we can save lives.

Healthcare should reach everyone, especially those who need it most.

Our Community-Based Health Care department brings free basic services closer to communities. These include screening, treatment, and routine vaccinations for children.

From BCG to measles and rubella vaccines, these services help protect children from preventable diseases, especially in areas where outbreaks remain a risk.

Protection shouldn’t depend on where you live or what you can afford.

Chronic diseases are responsible for over 75% of deaths globally, but early detection can make all the difference.

Regular medical checkups help identify conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease early when they can be better managed.

Take charge of your health. Prioritize screening, follow your doctor’s guidance, and commit to a healthier lifestyle.
Because early action saves lives.

This World Hemophilia Day, we highlight the critical role of laboratory diagnosis in identifying bleeding disorders and guiding the right care.

Because every accurate result is a step toward better health outcomes.

On World Hemophilia Day, we raise awareness about bleeding disorders that often go unnoticed.

Recognizing the signs early can make a significant difference in care and quality of life.

If you have concerns about unusual or prolonged bleeding, seeking medical guidance is an important step.

For generations, the Annie Walker Ward has been a place where lives are cared for, families wait in hope, and healing begins.

Today, that space has been renewed.

Not just with new walls or modern rooms but with a deeper understanding that healing is shaped by what surrounds us. The quiet. The comfort. The dignity of being cared for well.

As the Archbishop reflects, this dedication is a reminder that our calling has always been the same; to serve with compassion, to restore health, and to place people at the heart of care.

This is legacy, carried forward.
This is healing, redefined.

To the Glory of God.
