Uganda was recently ranked among the top 10 countries world-wide in suppressing the Covid-19 pandemic by the Lancet Medical Journal, a leading global publisher of health research. This is a great honour for a country, so poor and so further removed from the global technological and medical modernity that the world expected would drive the fight against the pandemic when it was first reported at the end of 2019. To many, Uganda seems to be succeeding where many richer nations have failed.
