Quotes On Health Promotion

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni

The President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has emphasized the need to gasp the prevention concept in the health sector to ensure that 75 percent of diseases are prevented in Uganda.

He said that through public health, medical doctors can eliminate most of the sicknesses that affect citizens.

"These are the facts because many of those sicknesses are preventable" said Museveni.

So you as the new generation should really get that and make it part of your DNA in terms of professional services so that you help your people when you get a chance to avoid these sicknesses- disease of ignorance such as malaria.

Once you adopt this prevention method, most of the diseases can be avoided, for example, if you sensitize the communities where you will be deployed on how to use latrines, sleeping under treated mosquito nets, and using clean water.

"We also must talk about disease prevention & health promotion. No amount of medicines will ever be enough for a healthy population no matter how much money we invest. The satisfaction we are looking for starts with reducing demand through health promotion and disease prevention"..
