This post-campaign vaccination coverage survey was conducted following the second phase of PMVC that was conducted in six health regions in 53 districts of Uganda in April 2024. The overarching goal of the post-campaign survey was to evaluate program performance by coverage, the reach of the yellow fever vaccination campaign program, and ix assess the equity of the program to further inform the implementation of other vaccination campaigns and provide evidence in each of the 6 phase-II regions in Uganda about population vaccination against yellow fever for persons aged 1 to 60 years.
The Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package (UNMHCP) was developed in 1999 and has undergone periodic reviews overtime. As Uganda continues to undergo significant changes in its social, demographic, economic, and epidemiological structure, it has re-defined its national strategic direction through the Vision 2040, the National Development Plan III, and the National Health Policy III. The country is also committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agendas by the year 2030. In light of these changes, the Ministry of Health set out to review the existing UNMHCP and develop a new Uganda National Essential Health Care Package (UNEHCP) that reflects the country’s commitment to the SDG and UHC agenda, recognizes the current constraints to effective service delivery (resources, technologies, and system capacities, among others), and is aligned to Uganda’s new national strategic direction. This essential health care package provides a framework for directed planning and investment for health service delivery. It will guide the country to (re) focus resources to critical service areas and packages that address need and optimize population health outcomes

Ministry of Health (MoH) is committed to having one well-coordinated, integrated community health service delivery programme guided by the National Community Health Strategy (NCHS) so as to accomplish national and international goals. MoH finalized development of the first NCHS 2021/22 – 2025/26, which is intended to improve access to primary, promotive, curative, preventive and rehabilitative health care services through multi-sectoral collaboration. The aim of the National Community Health Strategy (NCHS) is to improve health outcomes at community level through strengthening the existing community health system to provide essential services as outlined under the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package.
Uganda developed and launched its fi rst Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) Sharpened Plan in November 2013 to accelerate the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This Sharpened plan builds on with the bold objectives of ending preventable maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent deaths and safeguarding the health and development of all children, adolescents, and women. This will ensure a Uganda where every woman, child, and adolescent realizes the right to health and wellbeing and can harness their social and economic opportunities to fully participate in shaping a prosperous nation. This plan calls for collective action and all stakeholders to align with the national and subnational mutual accountability framework to deliver their commitments.
Under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda, each country has been given a maternal and newborn mortality reduction goal to contribute to the global target of reducing maternal mortality to 70/100.000 live births. The MPDSR system aims at identifying ALL maternal and perinatal deaths, determine causes of death and avoidable factors that lead to maternal/newborn deaths so as to respond with actions aimed at preventing future similar deaths. The MPDSR system emphasizes continuous identification and reporting of maternal/perinatal deaths and linking that information to quality improvement (QI) processes.
