The 2006 UDHS was the fourth in the series that started in 1988. The primary objective of this survey was to provide up-to-date information for policy makers, planners, researchers and program managers, to use in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of population and health programs in the country. Unlike the previous three surveys which did not cover the whole country because of insecurity in some areas, the UDHS 2006 covered all districts of the country. In addition, the content of the survey was expanded to include questions on disability and gender-related violence.
The 2000-2001 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) was the third national Demographic and Health Survey in a series that started in 1988, with the second conducted in 1995. The major objective of these surveys was to collect and analyse data on fertility, mortality, family planning, and health.
Compared with the 1988-1989 UDHS and the 1995 UDHS, the present survey was significantly expanded in scope to include questions on gender issues, a malaria module, and blood testing for haemoglobin and vitamin A deficiency. Thus, the 2000-2001 UDHS will not only update the information from the 1995 UDHS but will also provide more detailed findings
The declining power of governments to address society’s big problems brings the conversation on to wealth inequality, the issue that in one shape or another really drives most of the risks facing the world today. Last year, on these pages of The Wealth Report, our keynote interviewee, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, expressed a hope that the Movement for Inclusive Capitalism, which she champions, would help create a fairer system of capitalism and globalisation
The Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) was conducted at a time when Uganda needed baseline information for planning and implementing national and regional programmes.
The survey was conducted as part of the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) programme in which surveys are being carried out in countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Near East. The UDHS used an ample survey designed to collect information on fertility, family planning, and mammal and child health.
This paper examines the impacts of a public sector decentralization program on the demand for health care in Uganda in the 1990s. This work is an extension of a previous paper, which provided evidence of a shifting of priorities by local governments in Uganda’s decentralized health system away from provision of primary health care, in particular the provision of public goods or goods with substantial consumption externalities, and toward provision of private health goods such as curative care
Like elsewhere in the world, nurses and midwives form the backbone of the health service delivery, constituting more than 60% of the health care work force in Uganda, (MOH, 2007). The quality and satisfaction with care largely depends on nurses and midwives in the health care system, (World Health Assembly, 2002

In addition, data were collected on the nutritional status of mothers and young children; infant, child, adult, and maternal mortality; maternal and child health; knowledge and behaviour regarding HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections; levels of anaemia and vitamin A defi ciency; and gender-based violence.
This handbook aims to make the case that strategizing – meaning designing plans and policies to achieve a particular goal related to the health of a nation – is absolutely critical in the 21st century. It is not only recommended by the Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO), but is also feasible for all countries in all settings
The 2011 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) is a nationally representative survey of 10,086 households with 9,247 women age 15-49 and 2,573 men age 15-54. The 2011 UDHS is the fifth comprehensive survey conducted in Uganda as part of the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys project.
The primary purpose of the UDHS is to furnish policymakers and planners with detailed information on fertility and family planning; infant, child, adult, and maternal mortality; maternal and child health; nutrition; and knowledge of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. In all selected households, women age 15-49 and children age 6-59
