We have donated 2000 mosquito nets to the Ministry of Health who will supply them to the market vendors. We appreciate the work that the Ministry of Health has put in to ensure that our country Uganda is protected from not only the COVID-19 disease but also diseases like malaria that have affected our nation for years on end.
