The ministry of health in Sudan is in a state of quagmire after seven doctors succumb to coronavirus in just 10 days. In the past one month Sudan has lost over 100 people due to Covid 19.
The death of these doctors has left a very huge gap on the fight against coronavirus. Actually in the statement by the ministry of health of Sudan, the tireless efforts of these doctors is clearly noted and very much appreciated.
These doctors put their lives at risk everyday to make sure that they treat every patient that came in the hospital. Even the government mourned these doctors and noted their death is a huge loss to the country.
The government named them heroes who died in the name of defending their people. Sudan has a tremendous number of coronavirus cases, 16,052 and a death record of 1,197 currently.
Just a few days ago, the ministry of education of Sudan procrastinated the reopening of schools for a fortnight as cases continue to rise. Dr. Osama Ahmed Abdurrahim, acting health minister said coronavirus is still spreading in communities. He cautioned everyone to wear masks, practice social distancing and follow all other SOPs to avoid Covid 19.
In Uganda;
Currently, people are not taking Coronavirus as serious as they did when it had just begun. For example here in Uganda, when you look at the way campaigns are carried out, politicians seem to have forgotten that they have Covid 19 to fight.
There is no social distancing at all, people don’t even wear masks and yet cases are on the rise. Uganda has 18165 cases and 181 deaths due to coronavirus.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
