Health in West Nile

Nestled in the northwest corner of Uganda and bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo and Southern Sudan, Uganda’s West Nile region has plenty of health concerns, from cholera and a poorly-understood spread of plague to growing public concern about diabetes and the continuing curse of HIV/AIDS. On 9-13 November 2009, the International Centre for Journalists and UHCA conducted a week-long training workshop for journalists from the region. A unique collaboration between journalists and local health officials, the program was organized by Stephen Dradenya, a reporter for Arua One radio and the New Vision. It was led by Knight International Journalism Fellow Christopher Conte and journalists Pius Sawa of Radio Sapientia and Lydia Namubiru of Saturday Vision. And it featured seven local health officials as trainers.

This is despite the fact that Uganda is lagging behind in the race to meet the seventh millenium development goal on halving the number of people without sustainable access to safe water and basic sanitation by 2015.

Hence, there is a demographic imperative to motivate this generation to adopt healthy childbearing habits—including healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies.
