Private Health Support (PHS)

This activity aims to strengthen, organize and mobilize the private sector to provide Ugandans with the option of obtaining high-quality health services from private-for-profit (PFP) providers.

The program's objectives are to: a) expand availability of health services by private providers; b) increase affordability of private health services and products; and c) improve quality of private health sector facilities and services.

The program already supports 120 private providers in approximately 44 districts of Uganda targeting clients of PFP facilities as well as workplace sites.

The project will facilitate partnerships and provide technical assistance to design and implement comprehensive workplace health programs that maximize accessibility to tuberculosis; maternal, newborn and child health; family planning; nutrition; and malaria prevention and treatment services.
