Achieving a Comprehensive Healthcare System
We have big dreams for what we can accomplish in Kashongi and Kitura, Uganda. As time goes on, we hope to make progress on the following goals to improve the quality of healthcare. These goals originate from our model for a comprehensive healthcare system.
- Continue to carefully assess the needs of Kashongi and Kitura to guide PHP’s efforts in healthcare
- Establish a community health workers program to provide immediate care at the village-level and implement other PHP initiatives
- Accompanying the expansion of available healthcare services, establish programs such as transportation services to alleviate direct barriers to seeking care
- Determine infrastructural needs in Kashongi and Kitura, such as additions to existing health centers and the construction of new health centers
- Equip all health centers with high-tech medical equipment; install solar panels to provide power for operating the equipment
- Work with the Mbarara University of Science and Technology and use PHP’s own resources to provide adequate training and incentives for health workers in Kashongi and Kitura
- Conduct constant disease and public health surveillance to ensure that PHP’s efforts adequately adapt to changes over time
