Civil society Organisations (CSOs) working on the right to health in Uganda have today 5th December 2014 made submission to the Uganda Law reform Commission (ULRC) appealing to government to consider amending the constitution and include the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health into the supreme law of the country

The Center for health has today the 27th March 2015…..

The High Court decision arose out of a case filed by the Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD), Mugerwa David and his children against Nakaseke District Local Administration following the preventable maternal death of Irene Nanteza in Nakaseke Hospital on the 5th of May, 2012. On that fateful day, Nanteza was taken to Nakaseke hospital by her spouse, Mugerwa David to deliver her baby. While at the hospital, a nurse detected that the deceased suffered an obstructed labour that required urgent intervention by a doctor. The doctor on duty only arrived at the hospital after over eight hours when it was already too late for any medical intervention to reverse the haemorrhage that had arisen due to a ruptured uterus.

Today a landmark case re-opened in Uganda’s Constitutional Court, Petition 16 of 2011, filed on behalf of two women who died in childbirth, Sylvia Nalubowa and Jennifer Anguko, by the health rights organization Center for Health Human Rights and Development (CEHURD).
