As part of our Restoring Hope Initiative, our staff had the privilege of visiting the NGO Educate An Orphan Uganda last week. Together, we donated essential goods, including toiletries, hygiene products, and school supplies, to support the incredible work they do for children in need. Each year, our staff identify and select community organizations that could benefit from our support—and this year, we’re honored to contribute to Educate an Orphan’s vital mission and give back to the communities where we operate. We believe in building brighter futures, one small act of kindness at a time. 💙 ❤️

Earlier this month, UHD and Medical Access launched their Leadership Development Program, a unique program designed to both empower the next generation of public health and supply chain leaders and equip existing team members with the skills and confidence to lead. We kicked things off with a training by Susan Wamae and Prof. Joseph Onyango Ph.D from Strathmore Global Institute - Uganda (SGI-Ug), where team members had an opportunity to learn and practice new leadership skills. Strong local leaders with deep technical expertise are such an important component of a country’s public health response and we are proud to play our part in raising up Africa’s public health leaders. #LeadershipDevelopment #PublicHealth #AfricaRising

Human rights are key to ending AIDS as a public health threat. This #WorldAIDSDay2024, we reflect on the importance of continued efforts to facilitate equitable access to quality healthcare products. At UHD, we are working to close the gap between the demand and availability of critical medicines and other products in Africa by partnering with manufacturers and suppliers, and making it easier for their products to reach communities in need across the continent. On this important day, we stand firm in our belief that all communities deserve equal access to quality healthcare. Together, let’s build a future where no one is left behind. #EndAIDS
