We held an introductory engagement with VHTs from Kyanamukaka Subcounty at Kyanamukaka Health Facility. The discussion focused on how we can work together to improve access to inclusive, respectful and non-discriminatory health services for Key Populations (KPs).

🇺🇸🤝🇺🇬 Results, not rhetoric: 99.1% of Ugandans who know their HIV status are on treatment, and 96.5% of them have suppressed the virus. That beats global targets. "Behind each of those percentages is a person who got tested, stayed on treatment, and is alive because of it." — Chargé d'Affaires Mikael Cleverley @MinofHealthUG
