On 22-23 September 2022, the Ministry of Health with support from partners held a multi-sectoral consensus meeting to launch the 2022 operational plan for the implementation of the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS).
The NAPHS defines the strategies, actions, and priorities the Government of Uganda will adopt to improve the country’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health emergencies.
This plan was the first, full-fledged strategy of its kind in Uganda and adopts a whole-of-government approach to health security by leveraging the strengths of many different ministries, departments, agencies, partners, and funding streams.
