Health & Wellness
Goal
To strengthen primary health systems to deliver high-quality, affordable and equitable services to the most vulnerable.
The Challenge
Although Uganda has made progress in expanding health services, large disparities remain. Vulnerable communities—especially women, children and young people—continue to experience preventable illness and deaths due to inequitable access to quality care.
Uganda’s health system remains constrained by inadequate resources, weak accountability, limited responsiveness to emerging health threats, and gaps in service delivery—particularly at primary healthcare level where most people seek care.
