Connecting communities to care, evidence and action.
We work at the community–health-system interface in Busoga to identify unmet needs, connect families to appropriate care, support continuity and turn evidence into targeted solutions.
Proposed organizational website content based on the current MCH organizational concept.
Why this matters
Busoga has a strong health-system foundation — and important gaps remain.
The proposed organization focuses on the spaces between community, facility, referral, treatment, discharge and continued care.

Stories of change
Learning from people and communities.
