    Abstract
    In May 2021, Translators without Borders conducted sociolinguistic research on health communication on Ebola and COVID-19 in three districts in western Uganda - Hoima, Kasese, and Kisoro. We found that regular, clear, and thoughtful communication on diseases can reduce stigma and increase trust, and multilingual health communication is essential to ensure that everyone can understand how to keep themselves safe.
