DNA test is the best way to prove that the child you are taking care of is yours. In Uganda, it’s important to know the places where DNA test is conducted because of issues that may arise requiring one parent to prove that he/she is the biological parent.
In a court of law where divorce cases are handled and children are involved, DNA tests are always required so as to determine whether both parents have parental rights to the children. It is at this stage where the parents would be forced to seek for hospitals and institutions which conduct DNA tests.
