Assessment of the Effect of Health Sector Resources on Access to Medicines in Uganda

In Uganda, where 31% of the population lives below the poverty line and less than half the population obtains their medicine in the public sector, the National Government has recently prioritized increase in access to medicines and other health supplies and has pledged to strengthen National Medical Stores.  However, glaring infrastructural and human resource constraints exist, hampering monitoring and supervision, record management, communications, and access to basic utilities.  Due to this, UNHCO and HEPS will be working in partnership to undertake a QSDS to assess the extent to which resources allocated to the health sector affect delivery of medicines.
