Who We Are
Our mission is to empower health workers to address local health problems in innovative ways in order to transform patient care and improve outcomes.
We believe it is possible for every Ugandan to have access to high quality healthcare. We know there is only one way to get there: by empowering and equipping health workers to do their job. As one of the foremost Ugandan health research institutions, we discover solutions to healthcare problems throughout the country and advocate with Government, the WHO and other critical institutions to change policy.

Health
Workers First
The most important factor in patient outcomes is the health worker. Our research and policy advocacy aim to empower the frontline health worker with relevant knowledge, useful training, modern tools and uplifting work environments.
We call this the Health Worker First model. By centering the health worker, we can drive improvements in patient outcomes that scale across Uganda.
