HEALTH CARE

The goal is to reduce mortality in households that results from preventable health conditions. Uganda’s maternal and child mortality rates have remained high at 336 deaths per 100,000 live births and 64 deaths per 1000 live births. This coupled with incidence of malaria, Acute Respiratory Infections, diarrhea and failure to complete vaccination schedules provide justification for health care interventions for children and women.
