Ambassador Alphons Hennekens receiving an award

The Netherlands Ambassador to Uganda Alphons Hennekens  calls for a concerted effort to make men and boys aware of the need for family planning and support of the use of contraceptives. Ambassador Alphons made the remarks while reacting to media reports that about 70% of women use contraceptives without the consent of their husbands.

He says that men should know that the use of family planning and contraceptives will lower the fertility rate, reduce unsafe abortions and maternal morbidity. He says that if Uganda wants to achieve a middle income status by 2020 and the population growth has to go down.

The Ambassador was also concerned about the reports of faulty x-rays lying at district hospitals, noting that this could be caused by gaps and weakness in accountability management and governance system in government agencies and ministries.

This was at the closure of the three and half year Link up Project, implemented by partners of the International HIV Alliance, and coordinated by Community Health Alliance Uganda (CHAU). The project was aimed at increasing access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and HIV services, commodities and information for young people living with and most affected by HIV in Uganda.

The report that was launched by the Uganda AIDS Commissions in Kampala shows that the increasing infections is due to the men who do not like to use protective measures when having sex with their non permanent partners or prostitutes.

Dr. Zainabu Akol says that when conducting the research they found that prostitutes move with condoms but men decline to use those condoms.

Dr. Kihumuro Apuuli, the director of Uganda AIDS commission says that the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS among the prostitutes in Uganda now stands at about 37 percent.

Dr. Apuuli has advised couples to remain faithful and the pregnant women to always take HIV tests such that if they test positive the children are protected from mother to child HIV infections.
