Health screening services will be available

Know your parameters

Screening turns awareness into action, on the same day.

On-site screening across a wide range of tests, so you leave knowing your numbers. This is the heart of WellFest — not a health lecture with entertainment attached, but a day where the joy and the wellbeing are the same thing.

• The arts + wellness framework

Five pillars of wellbeing
brought to life through art.

WellFest Uganda is built around five integrated wellness pillars. Each one comes to life through expert-led sessions and arts-based creative activation, where the performance itself carries the health message. And a wide variety of confidential health checks means wellbeing is something you feel and act on, not just hear about.

Health Checks

A wide variety on the day

Psycho-social Wellbeing

Mental, emotional and social wellbeing, made human and approachable.

NCD Prevention

Tips to prevent lifestyle diseases like diabetes, pressure, stress, fatigue and so on.

HIV/AIDS Awareness

Prevention, testing, and living positively, without stigma.

Gender Main-streaming

Safe, equitable spaces where everyone belongs.

Know Your Parameters

Confidential health checks, so you leave knowing your numbers.

Sessions led by medical artists, and lots of entertainment

The same idea runs through all five pillars: make wellbeing something you experience, through movement, performance, and a day the whole ground shares.

Pick your pass. Come and move.

Early Bird is limited to the first 500 tickets, or until Friday 8 August 2026, whichever comes first. Every ticket includes a free on-site health screening.
