WHO boosts Uganda’s healthcare
By Bridget Nsimenta
Access to quality, affordable healthcare is a fundamental right that every individual deserves.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is reinforcing its support for Uganda’s health sector, offering both financial and technical aid to improve the delivery of comprehensive, people-centered health services across the nation.
In a recent update on their X account, WHO Uganda highlighted their commitment to enhancing Uganda’s health system.
Their focus includes ensuring preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative services are available to all citizens, regardless of socioeconomic status.
“WHO supports Uganda’s health sector financially and technically to provide people-centered health services throughout the life course,” the statement read.
WHO's involvement encompasses expanding healthcare infrastructure, training healthcare workers, and promoting initiatives to combat both communicable and non-communicable diseases.
The organization plays a key role in implementing preventive measures, such as immunization programs and public health campaigns, to alleviate the disease burden in Uganda.
As Uganda works towards achieving universal health coverage, WHO’s partnership is vital in building a robust health system that can address the diverse needs of its population.
