The Ministry of Health has convened an Ebola Accountability Forum aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and coordination among stakeholders involved in the country’s Ebola response efforts.
The forum, supported by the World Health Organization, brings together health partners to review financial accountability updates, share progress on response activities, and strengthen trust among stakeholders.
While opening the forum at Sherato Hotel – Kampala on Tuesday, Minister of Health, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi appreciated development partners for their critical support in helping Uganda bring the Ebola outbreak under control.
Baryomunsi called for continued collaboration as Uganda extends support to the Democratic Republic of Congo in efforts to contain and end the epidemic.
The Director General Health Services, Prof. Charles Olaro, said the engagement will provide updates on the current Ebola situation in Uganda and ensure partner resources are aligned with national response priorities.
Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Diana Atwine, commended partners for their technical and financial support, as well as countries that maintained open travel policies during the outbreak.
Atwine said the continued support demonstrated strong international partnerships and confidence in Uganda’s ability to manage public health emergencies.
