Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has confirmed that First Lady Janet Museveni is recovering from a serious, undisclosed illness that began on March 21, 2026, ending weeks of public speculation.

• The First Lady, who also served as Education Minister, was last seen publicly on March 21, 2026.
• President Museveni described the illness as an "attack on her life" by "Satan" and credited her recovery to divine intervention and medical care.
• Speculation was fueled by the First Lady's absence from President Museveni's inauguration on May 12 and the travel of a presidential jet to Savannah, Georgia, USA.
