Uganda Refugee Response Plan (RRP) 2020-2021, Health & Nutrition Dashboard – Quarter 4, January – December 2021

The sector’s main objective is to ensure full integration of comprehensive primary health care services for refugees into national and local government systems, in line with the Health Sector Integrated Refugee Response Plan (2019-2024), launched in January 2019.

Achievements

The under 5 mortality rate was low at 0.1 compared to the standard of less than 1.5 deaths per 1,000 population. This was achieved because of strengthened community health interventions using the Village Health Teams (VHTs) to carry out disease surveillance in addition to testing and treating children for childhood illness such as diarrhoea, malaria and respiratory tract infections. This intervention will be scaled up in all settlements There are high rates of anaemia in the settlements and it is the major cause of death among children under 5 years. Anaemia typing has been done by sector partners to establish the anaemia type that is most prevalent. The health facility delivery rate stands at 95%, this has been achieved as a result of sensitization at the health facilities, VHT engagement in mapping of pregnant mothers and integrated outreaches taken to the communities with maternal child health services as part of the packages.

Challenges and key priorities

Only 76% of the health facilities have been accredited and integrated into national systems. This is because some of the facilities are still either temporary on semi-permanent and cannot meet the requirement for accreditation by the Ministry of Health. There is a need to upgrade the facilities, starting with infrastructure development.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Most 16 year old kids are busy scrolling Instragam.

Charlie Mitchell is recording songs with legendary music producers, and this producer is like few others, with 57 #1 hits to his name. ESW Management released the single today to more than 13,000 radio stations in 27 countries through PlayMPE, the leading distributor of music to radio stations throughout the world.

“Charlie Mitchell is a superstar in the making,” said Walden.

Walden discovered Mitchell through Brian Evans, a singer he also produces, who heard Charlie on a social media platform.

“Moment I saw him, he was next,” says Evans. “I don’t need to sell you this kid, he doesn’t need anyone to.”

Charlie Mitchell’s new song is now available all over the world on every music download store in the world, including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and others. His Facebook page is Facebook.com/charliemitchellmusic.com.

“Horrorscope” – The Graphic Novel – is headed for TV

LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — “Horrorscope,” a novel that was adapted from the original book by Brian Evans and has received rave reviews, including from Kirkus Reviews, will be a TV series, according to ESW Management.

Hollywood heavyweight attorney Peter Paterno is representing the project.

"Horrorscope," the graphic novel, was recently released by Westwind Comics after being adapted from the original novel.

“Horrorscope,” was originally written by Brian Evans, Mark Andrew Biltz, and Helen Marie Bousquet in 2014. It was adapted into a graphic novel in 2021. It was released as a graphic novel several months ago, with Kirkus Reviews saying of the extraordinarily original story, “A distinctive horror tale with stark characters and radiant artwork.”

“We always knew this would end up being a television show. At this point, it’s deciding where we want it,” says Evans.

The original novel can be purchased at Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Horrorscope-Brian-Evans-ebook/dp/B01IKLW5GM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2UM9TGSTBRPT0&keywords=horrorscope+brian+evans&qid=1651550144&sprefix=horrorscope+brian+eva%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-1 or on Audible for audiobook lovers at https://www.audible.com/pd/Horrorscope-Audiobook/B00SC0ZMW6?qid=1651550203&sr=1-2&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_2&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=1JDQ977CJSRNQ3C8V2A9

The new graphic novel can be purchased at https://www.amazon.com/HORRORSCOPE-Graphic-Novel-Brian-Evans-ebook/dp/B096FYQ1RL/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2E56O8AHW4UOH&keywords=horrorscope+brian+evans&qid=1651550242&sprefix=horrorscope+brian+evans%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-3

One of the pages from graphic novel created by Ferran Xalabarder of Westwind Comics, adapted from the Brian Evans, Mark Andrew Biltz, and Helen Marie Bousquet novel, "Horroscope."

A book preview has aired in over 10,000 movie theaters across the world, airing as a preview prior to any given film a movie lover may attend in theaters.

“We promoted it there, because we knew they’d be in that same seat watching this book on the screen,” says Evans.

The story is about a psychic forced to predict the future for the mafia. When she is eventually murdered by a distrusting underboss, the Zodiac signs come to life to seek revenge.

“We are very excited about where this is going to go, and even when others didn’t see it, our belief in the story kept us going,” said co-author Mark Andrew Biltz.

Narada Michael Walden, the producer behind the best selling movie soundtrack of all time, “The Bodyguard,” has already written the theme song for the eventual production.

“We always knew this was a matter of time, and from Taiwan to Seattle to the UK, we’ve been deciding what we want to do,” says Biltz.

The graphic novel has received five-star reviews in every graphic novel publication that has reviewed it to date. Westwind Comics of Spain adapted the novel.
