To improve access to information to the people of Uganda through creative and innovative use of ICTs for service delivery, research and education towards the achievement of health literacy
Without members of the public taking part in research, we can’t make improvements to treatments and care. By taking part in a research study, you could benefit future generations and play a really important role in medical progress. Patients taking part in research receive high-quality monitoring and care, and they sometimes receive new drugs and treatments only available through the research study.
Consumer and community involvement is about working with researchers and other stakeholders to make decisions about research priorities, policy and practice. It is not a about participating in a research project.
We provide farmers with real-time weather forecasts and market prices of their agricultural products through their mobile phones. Reach out to the customer care team without having to see us and we provide them with all their farm updates from their personalized dashboard. There are different ways that digital can power agriculture. It can help disseminate news to people in rural communities, you can find out about the latest agricultural practices and learn this digitally, it can also inspire you to come up with a creative solution in the agriculture sector.
The Uganda National Meteorological Authority – UNMA does not currently have a smartphone application that alerts you if we issue a warning. However, most newer-model smartphones come preprogrammed to alert for a few of the highest priority warnings issued by various government agencies. From the Uganda National Meteorological Authority – UNMA , those include Tornado Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings. More information on these alerts is available on Uganda National Meteorological Authority – UNMA website. Many private companies make apps that alert Uganda National Meteorological Authority – UNMA warnings for your location on your mobile device, just check your app-store on your mobile device for options. Also, check with your county/ district (typically the emergency management department/agency) to see if they have county/city alerts that you can subscribe to on your mobile device and/or email. It’s always a good idea to have more than 1 way to receive warnings. Any single way can fail at times.
