The government, through the Ministry of Health, has reminded stakeholders to reschedule budgeting priorities to increase health funding as the majority of donors and partners continue to pull out.
Â
The ministry is meeting stakeholders from EAC, Global Fund, African Union, among others, to discuss health financing.
Â
Public health director Dr Daniel Kyabayinze says the government has for long failed to reach the 15% health budget funding as per the Abuja declaration, and this has continued to affect health promotions, care, preventive and curative health aspects.

Â
Parliament is considering the 71.4 trillion 2025_2026 budget, where experts have warned and advised that key health priorities be redesigned to suit the development agenda by equally improving and increasing funding in the health sector.
