Members of Parliament are planning embark on the process of amending the constitution to make access to health a human right.
Members of parliament under their umbrella body the Network for African Women Ministers and Parliamentarians-Uganda chapter say that the right to health is not well stipulated in the constitution of Uganda which may be affecting the funding of the sector.
The chairperson of the Network for African Women Ministers and Parliamentarians-Uganda Chapter Slyvia Namabidde says that they are waiting upon the Attorney General to introduce the constitutional amendment bill to entrench the Right to health in the country’s supreme law.
Namabidde is optimistic that if the constitution clearly stipulates the right to Health for access, this would motivate government to consider the health sector one of its priorities.
