The Government of Uganda regards Health as a fundamental human right. Good health of citizens is an indispensable prerequisite for socio-economic stability and sustainable development of a country. The Ministry of Health recognizes that good health is not a product of the health sector alone, but a product of effective policy implementation across all sectors of Government. The Goal of the sector focuses on improving population health and well-being, reducing health inequalities, and ensuring a citizen-centered health system that is universal, equitable, sustainable and of a high quality. The achievements of the Ministry of Health during the FY 2015/16 were in accordance with the sector priorities as guided by the Health Sector Development Plan (HSDP) and within the realm of the National Development Plan II. In order to achieve this, the Ministry focuses on implementation of National Health Policy II (NHPII) whose priority areas include: Strengthening Health System in line with decentralisation, reconceptualising and organising supervision and monitoring of health systems at all levels, establishing a functional integration within the public and private sector, addressing the human resource gaps and related service delivery challenges.
