Kadaga explained that the disinfectant killer would be made available the offer to Uganda free of charge as promised by the speaker.
However, In a press briefing on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, Uganda Medical Association -(UMA) criticized the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga for declaring what they described as a ‘fake’ coronavirus treatment vaccine in Parliament on Monday.
Dr Richard Idro President of (UMA), noted that although several tests are being carried out worldwide, to this day there isn’t any confirmed medicine available on the market that would cure or act as vaccination for COVID -19.
The Speaker this afternoon at parliament assured MPs that she does not deal with quacks and said the doctors should have shared their concerns with her instead of resorting to a press conference.
She also noted that the Professor in question has assisted president Obama with the Obama health care, advisor to the FDA of America currently and made an offer to make medicines in Uganda.
The speaker asked that the medical body be courteous and instead apologize
