The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Health, Dr. Charles Ayume, has urged government to promptly invest adequate resources in maternal and post-abortion care in health facilities across the country.

This follows findings of the phase three cross-sectional survey across eighty health facilities in Uganda which portrays that 23 percent of facilities offering implants don’t have trained providers and supplies to insert or remove implants.

While speaking at the update meeting with government line ministries, departments, agencies, and partners on sexual and reproductive health rights in Kampala, Ayume expressed the need for the health sector to prioritize training of health workers, women on contraceptions to reduce maternal mortality and post-abortion implications in the country.

He says that government needs to sensitize the public on how to use family planning commodities correctly.

Meanwhile, the Executive Director of Centre for Health and Human Rights Development (CEHURD) Fatia Kiyange said that the survey considered by Makerere University School of public health together with the Ministry of Health shows that over the last three years, family planning services among women and girls has not improved.

Kiyange says that government needs to sensitize women and girls on family planning methods to reduce abortion complications.
