KIWANUKA KITUUKA IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DISABLED






Uganda has registered an increase in the number of people who are classified as disabled, according to Edison Ngirabakunzi, the executive director of the National Union of Disabled People of Uganda (NUDIPU).
While speaking at the health journalism conference recently, Ngirabakunzi noted that after reviewing data of the 2002 national census, four percent of the population was classified as being disabled. However, the Uganda Demographic and Household Surveys (UDHS) of 2006 and 2011 put the numbers at seven percent and 16% respectively.
