This Health Facility Master List is a complete listing of both public and private health facilities in the country. There are 6,404 health facilities and each are established under unique administrative units i.e. Region, district, health sub-district, and subcounty etc. The need to uniquely identify health facilities in the country is of paramount importance for better health service delivery. Many countries do not have accurate and informed data on their health facilities yet this can facilitate effective monitoring of infrastructure development and services provided to their increasing population. Uganda has always suffered the same. Various organisations including researchers have multiple lists of health facilities across the country. More so, the facilities differ not only in the information they contain but also in the way they are named and identified. There is no common identifier to uniquely identify the facilities.
