Description
Although General Hospitals, Regional and National Referral Hospitals have continued to make major contributions to essential clinical care in Uganda, numerous reports (including those of the MoH) are awash with the stark reality of lack of drugs, absence of the often inadequate health workers, delays in accessing health care services even at referral hospitals, and neglect of patients who manage to access the health care facilities, resulting into avoidable deaths among other problems.
