CHAIN Engages Children and Communities on Safe Care for NCDs | World Patients Alliance

Member organization: Community Health and Information Network (CHAIN)

Date: 25 September 2026

Location: Namulonge sports ground, Uganda

Community Health and Information Network (CHAIN) and its partners commemorated World Patient Safety Day 2026 at Namulonge sports ground on 25 September through health education, community engagement, expert sessions, exhibitions and a medical camp.

Through CHAIN’s Start Early in Life Initiative (SEILI), children explored non-communicable disease prevention, safe care and healthy lifestyles. Interactive activities helped them connect these topics with experiences at home and in their communities. Children shared their learning through poems, songs and skits, addressing unhealthy diets, sugary drinks, physical inactivity, tobacco, alcohol and delayed health-seeking.

The wider community programme provided health services, screening and referrals to support awareness, early detection and safer NCD care.
