In Kayunga District, teenage pregnancies have become a significant concern, with nearly one in five deliveries at Bbaale Health Centre IV involving girls under 18. Health officials reported that in the past six months, 107 out of 570 mothers who delivered at the facility were below this age. The issue has been exacerbated by allegations of relatives coercing young girls into sexual relationships, which was highlighted during an International Women’s Day event at the health centre.
