Health is a human right, not a privilege. Every person, everywhere, should have access to the care they need to live a healthy life.
By fighting HIV, TB strengthening health systems, we can create a healthier and more equitable world, where lifesaving care reaches everyone who needs it.

@martinssempa you can’t fight us unfortunately. You invest most of your time promoting hate, and we invest our time as LGBTIQ+ Ugandans building love ❤️ and that’s our only strength. And we shall keep winning people like you with our only weapon and that’s love.
