Uganda investing for FOREIGN INVESTOR?? Why can’t Parliament provide same facility to a consortium of Ugandan doctors to do this if it’s Uganda’s priority in healthcare now and private participation is needed? Was the opportunity advertised for all interested to make offers?

Thank you for sharing this. However, as I said on the space, we would have appreciated her efforts more and given credit if she, and the rest of the MPs of course had reduced their 945b budget by the 88b required to deploy interns or if the reallocations of 557b made by Parliam..
