Considered attention is needed to the interplay between evangelical and charismatic religions and legislation in Uganda and their implications for public health, bioethics, and medical education. This manuscript examines the growth of the evangelical and charismatic movements in Uganda during the past several decades, concurrent trends in the formulation and implementation of law and public policy, and implications for the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, family violence, physician-patient communication, and medical and health education. The article concludes with suggested strategies to address the adverse consequences stemming from the interjection of religious perspectives into the domains of public health, clinical care, and health education.
