The Ministry of Health in Uganda has discharged three Ugandans that have battled COVID-19 and come out victorius, proving that with great health care and following guidelines and regulations, the novel coronavirus can be defeated.
The Ministry organised a send off ceremony for the three patients, who will go unidentified for purposes of fighting stigma in their communities.
