U.S. Air Force Maj. Andrew A. Herman, a medical planner with the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa Surgeon Cell, and Maj. (Dr.) Godwin B. Bagyenzi, director of medical research for Uganda People's Defense Force Health Services, give a deworming tablet to a villager in Kakute, Uganda, April 23, 2013. U.S. and Uganda soldiers dispensed the tablets as a preventive measure to protect residents from intestinal worms, which are common in the area. The project was one of the many events of One Health, a two-week whole-of-government program that recognizes the health of humans, animals and ecosystems, like their nations, are interconnected. Though the Uganda government provides tablets to all residents every six months, it can be difficult for some residents to pick up the pills at clinics. The U.S. Agency for International Development, a sponsor of One Health, donated these tablets as a convenience to villagers and to encourage them to meet with the CJTF-HOA and UPDF healthcare experts.
