The spread of the pandemic varied in communities but one thing was without doubt held in common; measures undertaken to curb the spread affected the economic and social welfare of all. For example, access to health services was hindered because the government had suspended public and private means of transportation, save for a select few offering essential services.
With a weak or non-functional ambulance service system in most communities, the fate of many Ugandans seeking healthcare was to walk long distances to health facilities. It didn’t help the situation that for a patient to access means of transport, one had to seek the written permission of the area’s Resident District Commissioner (RDC) who was rather hard to come by.
