  • Youth-Friendly Health Services including SRHR education, peer support, and mental health programs.
  • School Health Program with clubs, hygiene education, and teacher training.
  • Future Systems such as telemedicine, digital health, and an emergency response network.

Why It Matters

Healthy communities are productive communities. Access to care saves lives, improves learning, reduces vulnerability, and strengthens resilience across generations.

The role of the center

Key areas of focus

Under Ministry of Health guidelines, a HC IV should provide both out-patient and in-patient services; as well as surgical services. It is operated by a Senior Medical Superintendent, supported by a Senior Medical Officer, three Medical Officers and 125 other staff of different medical specialties (April 2023 staffing guidelines).

On top of providing the conventional services expected of a HC IV, it is envisaged Nagalaale Community Health Center will be the nucleus for transformative innovations in community-based healthcare services within the entire subcounty of Seeta-Namuganga and beyond. Nagalaale Foundation would like to use the Health Center as a tool for broadening and deepening community-based healthcare as an effective approach to enhancing livelihoods and economic productivity of communities. There is a positive correlation between health and productiveness.

The health facility aspires to evolve into a learning hub, providing nursing and paramedical training, as well as serving as an Academic Health Center, where interdisciplinary research happens. In this sense, the health center will position itself as a demonstration for the One-Health concept.

  • Promoting youth access to appropriate health services as provided by Government and other actors, particularly reproductive health and HIV/AIDS;
  • Maternal healthcare and immunization; and
  • Preventive healthcare.
