Mobile health clinics and community health worker training to improve access to primary healthcare in remote areas of Eastern Uganda.
About the Initiative
Access to basic healthcare remains a critical challenge for communities in Eastern Uganda. Our Community Health Outreach Initiative deploys mobile health clinics to remote villages while training local community health workers to provide ongoing primary care support.
Services Provided
- Mobile clinic visits providing screening, immunizations, and basic treatment

The initiative has significantly reduced the distance communities must travel to access essential health services, contributing to improved health outcomes particularly for women and children.
