Denmark has once again extended financial aid towards the fight against COVID-19 in Uganda.
According to the Demark Embassy in Uganda, more than five Billion Uganda Shillings will go directly to the World Health Organization Uganda which will work with the Government of Uganda and the existing health structures to boost the ongoing efforts to curb COVID-19 second wave.
The PS Ministry of Health Dr. Diana Atwine urged European countries to help Uganda and Africa purchase vaccines other than giving financial aid.
