Ugandans
This is a very troubling number there is no debate on that. But my daughter
squares this on dirt, God Ugandans are dirty, and if you have travelled in
other third world countries, it is simply unbelievable how Ugandans simply
makes every place dirty. If you walk in let us say Haiti, these are poor
people but as he walks you see him picking up a garbage and taking it to a
point where he can throw it. Ugandans walk on Kampala road eating a sweet
banana and he throws the pills on Kampala road and walks away as a God damn
Cow. When you go to a place like Cuba where an embargo has frustrated them
so much, you will never see piles of garbage for it is a responsibility of
every one to clean up after yourself. All Uganda streets have sides with
wrote garbage. From Kololo to Kiswa in Luzira. And as dirty as they are so
is the spread of open food kiosk in every crap you can ever think of, Geez
do Ugandans live to eat or eat to live?
Then there is problem of parking so many people in same place when they are
all making noise. Ugandans never shut up that is why the decibel in Kampala
is way high. And yes I have already talked about that woman that laughs as
if her crack has been extended by a full milimitre, and she does that at
every end of a sentence. You have packed up people, in dirty environment,
with no clean water and with no sewage systems, God I am surprised this
number is not already tripled. The stagnant waters all over the place. In
ponds in tree trunks in corridors, God we walked in parliament building and
it had stagnant water on the floor. Promise the safety of my daughter to
return safely and she spends a week in Kampala she will tell you what to do
and for free. And the alternative is very simple an endemic is going to
strike and as always it is going to strike very hard.
And note that the term I have used is an endemic not an epidemic.

Uganda registers 102,000 new TB cases every year
By Raymond Baguma and Violet Nabatanzi
Tuberculosis remains a major public health concern with Uganda recording 330
per hundred thousand population new cases every year. This represents
102,000 cases.
Speaking during a function to officially launch the distribution of
Tuberculosis Diagnostic Microscopes on Tuesday, State minister for health
Richard Nduhura also revealed that every year, out of 100,000 persons
tested, 136 people test positive of the disease.
Nduhura said that by the year 2011, Uganda had recorded 49,009 tuberculosis
cases, out of which 25,612 were infectious and 55% of the cases had both TB
and HIV/AIDS.
The function was held at the ministry of health.
The ministry received 180 fluorescent microscopes which will be distributed
in laboratories at health facilities countrywide.
The microscopes were procured through a Global Fund grant worth sh1 billion
and will help in the early detection of TB cases in the country.
Dr. Nduhura said there is a shortage of microscopes in many health
facilities in the country to diagnose tuberculosis cases. Also, health
facilities do not have the right kind of microscopes to conduct the TB
tests.
"This shortage of microscopes means that many patients who report to health
facilities cannot be diagnosed and hence continue to spread tuberculosis in
their communities," Nduhura added.
According to the medic, Uganda is ranked 16th out of the 22 countries with
one of the highest TB burden in the world.
"Uganda, like most sub-Saharan Africa is battling with the dual tuberculosis
and HIV/AIDS epidemic," he added.
A survey to assess the functionality of TB laboratories in 638 health
facilities revealed that 25 health facilities had no microscopes and 343 had
one microscope.
Also 145 health units had only two microscopes, Nduhura said that effective
TB diagnosis is possible with well-equipped laboratories, reagents and
trained health workers.
He added that TB is a highly infectious deadly disease that also affects the
ability of people to contribute to economic development.
Nduhuru said that the treatment of simple tuberculosis costs US$30; and
without proper treatment, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis costs US$3,000
to treat.
The ministry of health permanent secretary Dr. Asuman Lukwago called on the
implementing officers to utilize the donated equipment, ensure proper
accountability and avoid misuse.
