A TOTAL of 91 million condoms were circulated last year, statistics from the Uganda Health Marketing Group (UHMG) show. Most of them were used, causing a temporary shortage of condoms early this year.
The data indicates that the Ministry of Health distributed 55 million condoms, UHMG 12 million, Life Guard 18 million, while Trust Condoms circulated about six million pieces.
UHMG brand promotions manager William Nyombi said they were now in position to supply 15 million condoms per year for two consecutive years.
