Access to maternal healthcare for expectant women is a nightmare during the curfew period. Reports point at the possibility of unnecessary suffering of expectant women because of the fear of brutality they may be subjected to as they seek medical attention late in the night. Women in rural and in-city informal settlements are already marginalized and have suffered a great deal.
As a result, President Museveni issued a directive on April 20th that pregnant women will no longer be banned from using transport to seek health services past curfew time. However, it still remains very difficult for women to move and access these services.
