Youth action in combating maternal death

During the Uganda Model UN 2010 conference, young people declared and pledged to carry out clean-up activities in their communities in order to contribute to combating maternal death and real-ise MDGs.

The Makerere University Business School chapter spear headed the drive starting with their Health Service Center. Nkumba University followed suit with various activities that highlighted the issues at their campus.

Other activities like arts exhibition, training, workshops and conferences disseminating MDGs, 7bil-lion action plan and maternal health information are being undertaken and are to run till the end of 2011.

UNAU appreciates the efforts of the young people from the respective chapters and calls upon other youth and community members to join the race to fight against maternal deaths in Uganda.
