Uganda: Stop Open Defecation, Urination to Minimise Spread of Bilharzia

[Monitor] The Daily Monitor of February 5, carried a story titled, 'Ntungamo authorities raise concern over open defecation'. In the story, the authorities were concerned about sections of the town's streets and drainage channels being littered with human faeces.

In many parts of Uganda, there is visible evidence of human excreta in several channels and street corners, which eventually wash down into water bodies and this has ramifications.
