The government of Uganda was among the first countries to implement health sector reforms through a decentralized system of governance. Some of the reforms include the Primary Health Care (PHC) and the Minimum Health Care Package (MHCP) which contributed to achieving a number of health outcome indicators. The second National Health Policy (NHP II) which derives from the Health Sector Strategic Plan 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 covers a ten- year period (2010/11- 2019/20).
The goal of Uganda’ National Health Sector is to accelerate movement towards Universal Health Coverage of essential health and related services necessary for promoting a healthy and productive life . However, health which is a basic human right and vital for sustainable development is far from reach by women living with HIV. Majority of women living with HIV are more vulnerable to poor nutrition, poverty, preventable diseases, stigma and discrimination, violence including intimate partner abuse, and disability.

    Good day!
    I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nancy, a radio journalist working with a community/learning radio station in Kakamega, Western Kenya and I run a weekly radio programme on HIV and AIDS in conjuction with the AIDS CONTROL UNIT at my place of work; 103.9 MMUST FM.

    I have read widely about your activities, and I am most interested to further know what you do, other activities that you undertake here in Kenya, and if there’s a way that your organization can incorporate radio journalists in your team to help spread your agenda. Especially those that produce programs in tandem with your agenda.

    May I ask, do you have a network of journalists across the region that are able to help with your agenda? My interest lies with the possibility that I might be able to generate news stories from activities you undertake or positive broadcast programs to our listener-ship and much more.

    Awaiting a positive response from you.

    Kind Regards,
    Nancy Imali
