Resumen
Descripción
This study shows that Uganda has similar
or somewhat better health indicators than other African
countries with a similar income level. However further
effort is needed to address inequality in health outcomes
and in the health system. Overall recommendations arising
from this report, which are discussed in detail in Chapter
8, center on five areas: (a) prioritizing interventions that
affect infant and maternal mortality, (b) improving health
promotion and disease prevention practices at the family and
community level through community mobilization and
inter-sectoral collaboration, (c) mobilizing funds for the
health sector including strategies that encourage risk
polling mechanisms; (d) focusing on human resources and
collaboration with the private sector to improve health
service delivery, and (e) improving accountability through
improving information systems and supervision.
