This position paper presents findings from a rapid assessment and monitoring of health facilities conducted by Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD) and her partners in the districts of Arua, Mityana and Mayuge. The findings were triangulated by available documentary evidence. The report provides key best practices, challenges and makes recommendations for improvement of the quality of health.

The health sector continues to pursue the goal of accelerating progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with a focus on Primary Health Care (PHC) and improving population health safety. The focus is on reducing the burden of preventable diseases and conditions including malnutrition across various age groups and geographic areas; reducing preventable maternal, neonatal, child and adolescents’ deaths; improving access to sexual and reproductive health and rights information and services and strengthening health systems and its support systems to optimise the delivery of quality health care services.

The budget priorities for the health sub-programme includes, among others, fast-tracking the National Health Insurance Policy, establishing the national ambulance system to reduce the cost of services on government and functionalising the existing public health systems.
