I had the honor of attending the African themed Philip Bongole Lutaaya Memorial Dinner, to celebrate the legendary father of Positive Living and reflect on how we can achieve the dream of an HIV-free Uganda. In my remarks, I emphasized the importance of collaboration. HIV Justice Civil Society Organizations must move beyond working in isolation and join forces with other civil society groups, particularly those advocating for better healthcare. The fight against HIV cannot be separated from broader health sector challenges. For example, how can we envision an HIV-free Uganda when our healthcare infrastructure struggles, and mothers continue to die during childbirth due to poor services? Addressing these systemic issues is crucial for meaningful progress. As Philly Bongole Lutaaya himself said, “Living Positively is not just about surviving; it’s thriving.” Let’s work together to create a healthier, more inclusive Uganda where every individual can truly thrive. #PositiveLiving #HIVFreeUganda #Collaboration #HealthJustice #PhillyLutaayaMemorialDinner #UGANET4SocialJustice
