Surveillance and reporting
Description
Uganda has made major progress over the last two decades to move towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Significant reform efforts include establishing a well-defined essential package of health services, improving the financing of healthcare by introducing free health services in public hospitals, providing grants to private non-profit health providers to enable them to lower the costs of services, and developing policies to address some of the pressing healthcare needs in the country.
