Chapter 4 of the Constitution of Uganda, also known as The Bill of Rights, details the rights of all Ugandan citizens. Whether you are a person with a disability (PWD) or not, all these rights are yours.
Article 27 of the Constitution of Uganda guarantees that everyone has the right to privacy of their body, home and properties which shall not be unlawfully searched, entered or interfered with.
For PWDs this right means that if you need to go to a clinic for an HIV test or treatment, your records are private and confidential. If the staff discuss your medical records with anyone other than a professional dealing with your case they are breaking the law.
