In Uganda, one in ten people live with a disability. They will require access to health services for issues that can affect anyone in the community. This can include getting a routine vaccination or treatment for malaria.

The reality though is that inaccessible facilities, lack of transportation and high medical costs prevent people living with disabilities from getting the care they are entitled to.

Women and Children First, with our partners, is setting up community health groups to empower them to access the healthcare they need.
