AGP Executive Report

Last update: 15 minutes ago

Disability Inclusion: The Uganda Federation of the Hard of Hearing (UFHOH) is urging government to include hard of hearing people in implementing and monitoring Global Disability Summit commitments, citing census figures of 273,167 hard of hearing Ugandans but warning assistive tech needs like hearing aids, batteries and hearing loops remain unmet. Ebola Research & Vaccines: CEPI has pledged $3.9m for three research projects to track the spread of Bundibugyo Ebola in DRC and support vaccine trial evidence, as WHO reports the outbreak is still expanding and has surpassed 3,500 deaths. Ebola Border Measures: Bermuda has narrowed enhanced Ebola screening to focus only on travellers who were in DRC within the past 21 days, ending active monitoring for arrivals from Uganda and South Sudan after an epidemiological review. Ebola Response Update: WHO says transmission is declining in parts of Ituri and South Kivu, but the epidemic continues to kill across multiple provinces, with thousands of cases and deaths still recorded. Cholera Pressure in DRC: Eastern DRC is also battling cholera, with treatment centres in Bukavu reporting a steady influx of critically ill patients, adding strain to an already overwhelmed health system. Cancer Care Access: Uganda Cancer Institute says PET scan services are expected by December, with the PET bunker ready and the machine being shipped to improve early cancer detection. Misdiagnosis Concerns: Uganda’s Health Ministry attributes diagnostic errors to cognitive bias, systemic gaps, limited equipment and unqualified personnel, following public anger after reports of delayed or wrong diagnoses. Maternal Health & Awareness: A Ugandan designer’s “Layers of Life” gown—based on the seven layers of a C-section—has gone viral, challenging stigma and pushing conversations on maternal health. Pharma Supply Cooperation: Qcil calls for stronger Uganda–Nigeria cooperation to expand pharmaceutical manufacturing and improve regional medicine supply chains. Sleep & Wellness: Doctors advise Ugandans to reset body clocks for better sleep, warning that late-night routines and screen exposure can disrupt health and mental focus.
