Health Access Connect

At Health Access Connect, we believe that where a person lives should never determine whether they can access healthcare. We work to bring essential health services closer to remote communities in Uganda.

Follow us across our social media platforms to stay informed about our programs, impact stories, field activities, and opportunities to support healthier communities.

From 7–8km journeys to care brought right within the community, Mukisa’s story shows the real impact of community health outreaches.

Through Health Access Connect, healthcare is now closer and easier to access.

Strengthening partnerships for better community healthcare

Bringing healthcare closer to communities.

We recently conducted a medical outreach in Mbazzi Village, Mpigi District, in partnership with Muduuma Health Center III. The outreach provided community members with access to essential healthcare services and health education.

How can parents better support adolescents on Sexual and Reproductive Health matters?

During an Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) Parental Dialogue we held yesterday in Lwengo Subcounty at Lwengo Health Centre IV, parents openly discussed the challenges adolescents face and explored practical solutions on how families and communities can create safer, more supportive environments for adolescents.

These dialogues are part of our ongoing ASRH initiative aimed at helping adolescents navigate related challenges .

Similar engagements have already been held with adolescents themselves and health workers, encouraging collective action toward adolescent wellbeing.
