WHO Offers Medical Equipment to Uganda

The World Health Organization delivered medical equipment to Uganda’s Ministry of Health under the Diabetes and Cardiovascular (D-CARD) Africa Project. The donation includes blood pressure machines, glucometers, and ECG machines. Health officials will distribute the equipment to 40 primary health centers in Kabale, Koboko, Lira, and Sembabule. The project encourages integrating noncommunicable disease screening into primary care. It also supports Uganda’s goal of advancing universal health coverage.
