In the heart of Uganda, malaria is not just a distant threat but a constant companion for many. Take the story of Joseph Kasagga, a 35-year-old farmer from Nabuti. Over the years, he’s battled malaria more times than he can count, each episode more harrowing than the last. “It’s like a shadow that never leaves,” he says. “Every time I fall sick, it feels like I’m fighting for my life all over again.”
“counselling has been packaged as a punishment that is only prescribed to social misfits. This has increased stigmatisation among students. Good mental health is not all about good vibes and feeling happy, it is how we relate with negativity.”
Dr. Mulindwa explained that malaria is caused by the plasmodium parasite and spreads through the bites of an infected female anopheles mosquito.
The significance of blood donation cannot be overstated. Donated blood is used to save the lives of patients suffering from a wide range of medical conditions, including trauma, surgery, cancer, and chronic illnesses
Uganda Christian University’s director of medical services, Dr. Geoffrey Mulindwa has advised students to respect their bodies as a temple of the Holy Spirit. He said this during the Uganda Christian University (UCU)’s annual Health Awareness Week which was held under the theme ‘My body, a temple of the Holy Spirit,’ on March 4-7.
n the heart of Uganda Christian University (UCU), amidst the bustling academic endeavors and vibrant Mukono campus life, the UCU Fitness Club emerged.
“For someone who cannot even afford transport to the hospital, how can they pay for medical care?”
“I thank God that He has brought us together for this noble cause of saving mothers, and we reduce maternal death,” said Nsubuga.
In our daily lives, one needs a healthy body and mind. This is to enable proper functioning and, therefore, fruitfulness. Fitness is very important in the life of an individual, for it is a lifesaver, following Darwin’s principle of survival for the fittest.
