Uganda being a developing country still faces series of challenges in health sector. In rural communities still people don’t have access to treatment. Many pregnant mothers die on the way to clinics for treatment and if luckily make it there, most of the time there is no medication.

The ratio of nurses to patients is 1-500. Patients have to walk on average a distance between 12- 18 kilometers to the nearby clinics which at time run by unprofessional persons.

Pregnant mothers in rural communities give birth from home which at times put them at risk because of the un-sterilized instruments used during giving birth by family members.

Nutrition is another issue especially to breast feeding mothers and to children. This has left many children malnourished and die especially people living with HIV/AIDS.
