Govt to cut Ministry of Health budget  
By Peter Nyanzi

KAMPALA - Mr Francis Omaswa, the director general of health services, has said the government will drastically cut the budget for the Ministry of Health.

He was on Monday speaking at an HIV/Aids orientation workshop for parliamentarians in Kampala.

“We have been told that the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development has decided to reduce the budget for the Ministry of Health and allocate the money to other sectors," Omaswa said amid murmurs from over 70 MPs.

The MPs said they would oppose the move. "No, we shall oppose it in Parliament, it cannot be," Mr Henry Basaliza (Fort Portal Municipality) said.

The Ministry of Health is the third most funded ministry after Defence and Education.

In the last financial year, the ministry got Shs360 billion and an increase of Shs13 billion for the wage bill. The Chairperson of the Social Services Committee, Ms Dorothy Hyuha, said the government would allocate the money to the Ministry of Gender.
