Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Ministry of Health, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), recently hosted a 2-day roundtable discussion aimed at accelerating progress towards achieving sustainable and effective health financing in Uganda. The event brought together experts from various sectors to share insights on the current health financing landscape in the country.

With the goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Uganda faces challenges that hinder its progress towards this target. Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero, Uganda’s Minister of Health, emphasized the need for streamlined resources to avoid duplication and wastage, urging all partners to channel their support through a single system for efficiency.

Despite challenges, Uganda has made significant strides in improving its health financing system. The government has increased its budget allocation to the health sector, with a growth rate of 10% in the 2022/23 financial year. Additionally, a shift to program-based budgeting and results-based funding mechanisms has enhanced resource prioritization and efficiency.

During the roundtable, three health financing knowledge products were launched, providing valuable insights into Uganda’s health financing landscape. These products, along with the recommendations from the event, will guide future policy dialogues and reforms to advance progress towards universal health coverage in the country.

Overall, the collaboration between the Ministry of Health, WHO, and other partners demonstrates a commitment to addressing the challenges in Uganda’s health financing system and working towards achieving UHC for all its citizens.
