Dear editor,

As the new Health Minister, Dr. Richard Sezibera, starts work, it’s encouraging to know that he is determined to fight infectious diseases like Tuberculosis, Malaria, HIV/Aids and others.

However, in order to achieve this goal, sensitizing the population on hygiene is paramount, since most diseases are caused by poor hygiene.

I would like to congratulate our new minister and wish him success in the endavour to eliminate diseases in the country.

Mulindi
