Ms Sophia Tageya, a midwife at Masaka Regional Referral Hospital, is currently the team-lead of the COVID-19 response team at Kasensero landing site, located on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kyotera district, Southern Uganda.

Proud to lead the 10 man team, Sophia says she has never been prouder to be a health worker than she is now, during the COVID-19 response.

Mr Benjamin Sensasi, the WHO Health Promotion Advisor, currently supporting the greater Masaka Region on risk communication and community engagement, where Kansesero is located, concurs with Sophia.

Dr Andrew Nsawotebba, a laboratory specialist heading the Mutukula Port Health Laboratory notes that the establishment of the Port Health Laboratory has been instrumental in managing the COVID-19 response in Uganda.

Notably, the dedication of all health workers including Sophia Tageya and Andrew Nsawotebba has helped Uganda control the spread of COVID-19 infections - at least for now.
