First Lady Janet Museveni Speaks Out After Health Scare, Attributes Recovery to 'Living God'

First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Museveni, has publicly shared her thoughts on overcoming a significant health challenge, emphasizing her belief in divine intervention. Her comments come a day after President Yoweri Museveni revealed that she had faced a critical medical condition.

In a message posted on X, Janet Museveni conveyed her gratitude to the nation for their prayers and support. “It’s me, Janet Museveni. It is a confirmation that the God I talk about is a living God. He is not a myth, He lives!” she declared, reinforcing her faith.

She extended her thanks to Ugandans, including President Museveni, for their collective prayers. “Thank you all for coming out publicly to pray for me. Thank you for all those continuous prayers and also for the kind birthday wishes. Thank you for letting me know just how much I am loved,” she added.

This marks her first public statement since President Museveni disclosed the nature of her health scare during a birthday tribute. He revealed that on March 21, 2026, his wife experienced a severe health crisis, stating that “God, using good doctors, saved Maama’s life and she is now recovering well.”

The President’s remarks appeared to confirm widespread public speculation about the First Lady’s health, which had led to her prolonged absence from official duties, including parliamentary vetting processes. While the specific nature of her illness and treatment location were not disclosed, her own message now offers reassurance to many.

Supporters have widely welcomed her statement, viewing her recovery as an answer to the numerous prayers offered by Ugandans, religious leaders, and politicians. Her message has garnered thousands of positive responses, underscoring the public’s support and relief.
