Reproductive Health Uganda: reaching the most remote areas
Every Thursday a team from RHU Gulu district provides a mobile outreach clinic in Atega village in the Omoro district in Northern Uganda. The outreach team goes out into this poor remote area which would otherwise not have access to sexual and reproductive health services. The outreach clinic provides a range of services including diagnosis, testing and treatment, family planning such as fitting implants, providing condoms and HPV vaccines. Laboratory technician, Denis Bongonyinge carries out testing for malaria, Hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, pneumonia and other infections. Other members of the team provide immunisations and vaccinations. Provision of integrated services in such remote areas is vital for the local community; many men, women and children would not be able to receive the types of treatment and care that RHU works diligently to provide.

Keeping Young Ugandans Healthy
The Access, Services and Knowledge (ASK): what young people want, what young people need’ programme targets young people (10-24 years) including underserved groups, with a specific focus on uptake of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in the countries of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana and Senegal. ASK aims to ensure that young people not only receive direct information on sexual and reproductive health and rights so that they can make independent informed decisions. The ASK programme is a joint effort by 7 organisations: IPPF Rutgers WPF, Simavi, Amref Flying Doctors, Choice, dance4life and Stop Aids Now! Child Helpline International is engaged in the programme as a technical partner.
