Representatives and leaders of the key political parties will this Thursday engage in a public debate to discuss the state of health care in the country.
The parties are also expected to outline their plans to improve the ailing health sector if voted into power.

Six political parties including the NRM, Federal Alliance, Forum for Democratic Change, Uganda Peoples Congress, Democratic Party and the Peoples Progressive Party have been invited to take part in the debate.
