Buganda Kingdom prepares to mark the Kabaka’s 21st coronation anniversary. This year’s celebration will focus on sensitising the people of Buganda on disease prevention.
Buganda kingdom’s minister for health Dr Ben Mukwaya says millions of people in Buganda get killed of preventable diseases because they are not sensitised.
Dr. Mukwaya says their main focus this year will be on measles prevention. Measles is an acute viral respiratory illness associated with high fever, rashes and vomiting.
Measles kills over 777,000 children per year worldwide. Half of this number is in Africa.
Kabaka will mark his 21st coronation anniversary in Mawogola County headquarters in Sembabule District. The kingdom will start the cerebrations on July 29th and end them on July 31.
