Over the past days, CEHURD through the Joint Advocacy on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (JAS) Programme has engaged experts to interrogate implications of Uganda’s COVID-19 national response for health and human rights. These has produced a series of technical briefs looking at:
- COVID-19 and the Right to health;
- COVID-19 and the Rights of Frontline Health Workers
- COVID-19 and Sexual Reproductive Health
- COVID-19 and Mental Health
- COVID-19 and Gender Relations
Against this background, CEHURD through the JAS Programme would like you to invite you to a webinar on Monday 4 th May 2020 at 11:00am (GMT +3) to discuss these policy briefs. The theme of the webinar is “COVID-19, Health and Human Rights in Uganda”.

The unprecedented outbreak of the pandemic has put many healthcare systems to the test. In response, governments have put measures in place to control the spread of the virus. Uganda is no exception to taking measures to minimize the spread. However, these measures have raised issues around realization of the right to health, mental health, maternal health, gender dynamics and the need to safeguard the rights of front-line workers.
