Hello from Uganda, the 31st most populated country in the world, with a population of 50 million and $45 spent per capita on health care (to give a reference, the USA are spending $13,473 and Belgium $5,931).

Uganda: Population 50.0M, GDP 53.9B, Life expectancy 68.3 years.

I'm here for a conference on Malaria prevention campaigns, using bed nets and seasonal malaria chemoprevention.

These are widely considered as the most impactful interventions in health today and I'm proud that we are working in this field. https://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities

For reasons that are quite obvious, the last year has been focused on improving what can be done with diminishing resources in public health and we'll keep focusing on that.
