Call Directions Website

It started broadcasting officially on the 3rd June 2001. Radio Sapientia broadcasts from a 5KW transmitter, with its self-supporting tower.

It is located, along Hanlon Road, within the Uganda Catholic Secretariat adjacent to St Francis Hospital, Nsambya. Radio Sapientia advocates for peace, justice, integral development, political maturity, viable economic strategies, meaningful cultural heritage, human rights and duties, with special consideration for children, youths, women and the family; defense for human life, health, education and sports, agriculture, and environmental protection; fact, truth and sanity. The station has a mix of programmes, which include religious issues, local music, international and local news, announcements, social, economic and political shows. Radio Sapientia’s principle is to offer an alternative solution to non-positive growth in the society and targets both the young and older generations. Sapientia’s programming, which combines both spiritual and secular programmes, focuses on the human being as whole. Radio Sapientia mainly broadcasts in two languages: Luganda and English, and is on air 24 hours a day. The advertisers, who promote and facilitate the station, are our indispensable partners. Much as Radio Sapientia is Catholic-founded; its listenership is non partisan which is beneficial for our advertisers. The qualified and dedicated staff has catapulted Radio Sapientia to greater heights, given our practical approach to community issues. Radio Sapientia has some projects meant to help its listeners. These are Sapientia Cash Flow Club (self-help), and Sap-tula which was started to help the girl child acquire skills in tailoring through vocation education.

Olivia Lutaaya, a National Unity Platform (NUP) member, has been released after nearly a year in detention, the party said.

The party announced that Lutaaya has rejoined its ranks, almost a year after her arrest in Mbarara on November 7, 2025. She was held over charges of unlawful drilling, which NUP dismisses as politically motivated.

NUP also noted that Lutaaya previously spent close to five years in military court detention between 2021 and 2024. The party used the announcement to renew its call for the release of all political prisoners.

The Minister of Health, Hon. Dr Chris Baryomunsi, has called for a coordinated national response to communicable and non-communicable diseases, warning that Uganda faces a double burden of infectious diseases and rising conditions such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.

Speaking as Chief Guest at the 20th Joint Annual Scientific Health Conference and 2nd Annual Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Conference 2026 at Speke Resort Munyonyo, he urged researchers, health professionals, universities and government institutions to turn scientific evidence into practical policies and interventions that save lives.

Dr Baryomunsi highlighted seven priority areas: expanding immunisation and disease screening; integrating healthcare services; strengthening community health workers and primary healthcare; improving regional cooperation against epidemics; investing in reliable health data and research; increasing sustainable health financing; and addressing wider factors that influence health, including education, transport, nutrition and living conditions.

He raised concern over declining completion of childhood immunisation, noting that while more than 90% of children receive the first vaccine dose, only about 64% receive the second.

He called for stronger public education and follow-up to ensure children complete their immunisation schedules.

The Minister also emphasised early detection of hypertension, diabetes, cancer and other conditions, warning that many people only discover serious illnesses after complications arise.

He called for reliable medicine supplies, stronger local pharmaceutical production and integrated services that address multiple conditions.

On epidemic preparedness, Dr Baryomunsi stressed that diseases do not respect national borders and called for closer cooperation with neighbouring countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and South Sudan.

He also highlighted the importance of sharing responsibility, information and resources to strengthen regional preparedness and response.

On health financing, he noted that Uganda’s health budget remains below the 15% allocation target set under the 2001 Abuja Declaration.

He called for increased domestic investment and progress towards a national health insurance scheme that can improve access to care and reduce the burden of out-of-pocket medical expenses on households.

He further urged development partners to align their support with national priorities through coordinated planning, budgeting and monitoring, while calling on all sectors to recognise their role in improving public health.

Dr Baryomunsi said a healthy population is essential for national development and called on conference participants to use research and collaboration to identify effective interventions, strengthen health services and improve the well-being of Ugandans.
