Uganda

IntraHealth is assisting Uganda’s government and health professional associations to strengthen their systems to better address the country’s shortage of health workers and respond to major challenges such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis as well as to increase access to basic health care.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, IntraHealth established new human resources information systems at the Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council, the Uganda Allied Health Professions Council, and the Uganda Pharmacy Council. Within the ministry itself, IntraHealth supported the development of a human resources management database and an online knowledge management portal that provides access to resources, health information, and national documents and data. These tools are now supporting more strategic, data-informed human resources for health management, leadership, and decision-making at both the national and district levels.
