RURAL COMMUNITY PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
Hygienic home environments can give rural people new hope!

For many years, hundreds of thousands people living in rural districts in Uganda have lived in very unhygienic home environments. Many people in rural communities have died of malaria, dysentery, typhoid, diarrhoea, cholera and many other diseases associated with overcrowding and unhygienic environments surrounding their homesteads.  

Most of the diseases that affect the majority of the people in rural communities can be prevented. These diseases take a lot of people’s time, in hospitals, smaller health units, while being treated, in their homes without any productive work plus unnecessary expenditure. This has a negative impact on development at household and community level.  

STD/HIV/AIDS is one of the major health problems in Uganda which requires serious attention to control its spread among the population. The most vulnerable groups being women, children and youth. In view of this, there is great need for health education on the prevention and control of the STD/HIV/AIDS among the rural communities.
