LAKE KYOGA BASIN CAMPAIGN
Hope for rural Uganda

 
Mizpah

This program is to deal with community health care, which is too low.

Dr. Okware, the Commissioner for Community Services in Uganda's Ministry of Health, said, "Even if we worked 100%, with low access to health care we will still miss half the population".

He also said that only 15% of the population has access to drugs through government hospitals. This means that most of the population is prescribing drugs for themselves, leading to under and over dosage, wrong prescriptions, no prescription and other problems.
There are also other problems like: ignorance about simple health and hygiene facts, poor antenatal care, and the large number of our children dying before the age of five.

The way forward for this problem in the Lake Kyoga basin, if we are facilitated, is to set up ideal health centers where the need is greatest. These centers will provide, maternity services, immunization, management of simple diseases, some emergency training for the people on hygiene and sanitation.
