“As part of our sustainability agenda, we are committed to developing and supporting partnerships that reduce barriers in health, education and agriculture. A healthy human capital is important for the transformation of any society. We are proud to support these efforts aimed at ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic by 2030 because this economy needs a healthy workforce.”

“There is improved awareness in testing for Sickle cell disease. Kitovu Hospital in Masaka has treated over 1,000 fistula cases. The stigma towards these conditions is on a decline because Ugandans are now more aware of these conditions and seeking medical interventions. All this has been possible because of the support of the runners, who have participated in the previous editions of the Kabaka Birthday run. We truly appreciate their unwavering support.”

Buganda can only prosper with a healthy population. Airtel K2 has been a very supportive partner of Buganda in reducing the disease burden and building a healthy and productive population. I have been informed that Airtel Money now has affordable medical insurance for our informal sector people. I wish to congratulate them for intervening in this sector.” murali added,

“We are proud to work with the Kingdom leadership for allowing us to walk this journey together. We pledge our continued support. In the same regard, allow me to thank the Kabaka for his foresightedness which has influenced socio-economic development within Buganda and beyond,” murali colluded.
