By MONITOR More by this AuthorUganda President Yoweri Museveni is expected to receive a global award next month in Canada for his “distinguished leadership and dedication” in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. The award will be given at the First International Post-Covid Conference in Toronto, Canada. Uganda has faced several disease outbreaks such as Ebola virus disease, Covid-19 and Marburg, and scientists from the country have helped other nations contain the Ebola outbreaks. During the pandemic, President Museveni held several meetings with scientists and periodically addressed Ugandans about the progress in the fight and gave updates about the control measures. “I have been a doctor for 22 years now, I had never seen a disease which makes people require supplemental oxygen like Covid-19,” Dr Kirenga said.
