[Claudio Schuftan]

Season greetings from PHM-Uganda.



We would like to thank you for the unwavering support, solidarity  and time
you have accorded us on several engagements through your effort
contributions and your diverse capacities. Indeed 2019 has been a super
amazing and productive year for PHM-UGANDA, an activity compact year with
many positive changes in the mix and opportunities for work through
collaborations at national, region and global level.


A number of new organizations have come on board to join the struggle for
better health. Multiple papers and articles have been published to widen
our knowledge base and disseminate information as part of our advocacy
strategy, and  a mechanism to document our work in Uganda on diverse health
issues.
