Situation
Currently there are no medical facilities serving the immediate area and people have to walk a long way to get medical care. According to statistics there are only 36 doctors in Uganda for every 100,000 people compared to the UK which is around 390 doctors for the same number.
Solution
Putting a clinic in this strategic area will save lives and dramatically improve others. In partnership with the Tropical Medicine School of Slovenia we will send international doctors to the area to treat people and also to work with and train local doctors and nurses running workshops in AIDS prevention, health and sanitation, child care etc.
