Description

Uganda is faced with frequent outbreaks of emerging diseases and high burden of other endemic conditions, including cholera, all of which require dedicated resources for their prevention and control. However, like many developing countries, Uganda is resource constrained, has an inadequate health development budget, and limited access to life saving technologies implying that efficient and maximized use of the available resources is paramount. Cholera remains a major public health threat, leading to many cases and deaths annually in Uganda. The country reports an average of 1,850 cholera cases and 45 deaths annually. The districts of Nebbi, Hoima, Buliisa, and Mbale contributed to 60% of all reported cholera cases between 2011-2016.
