> In an ongoing effort to raise awareness and access to health informa-
> tion, the Ministry of Health is launching a web resource for health
> professionals, managers, and the general public in Uganda and the
> rest of the world. As a way of promoting the policies and activities
> of the Ministry of Health to the outside world, The Ministry of
> Health can now be found on the worldwide web at:
> http://www.health.go.ug
>
> The site will communicate the national health mission, policies and
> strategies, share information, statistics and resources, provide up-
> dates on programs and activities, advocate with policy-makers, opin-
> ion leaders and donors about health issues in Uganda.
>
> The web site is a great resource of information on the Uganda health
> sector, and also an exhibition of applicable health strategies and
> programs for developing countries.
>

> with Ugandan health professionals and other African countries. It is
> my hope that all Ministry of Health partners will make use of this
> valuable resource to share successful tools and interventions for im-
> proved health in Uganda and the world over. We welcome and invite new
> input to our website.

> We've built this web site with our customers and clients needs in
> mind. Our new site is geared towards improving access to information
> in real time by all our stakeholders and then providing all the nec-
> essary pertinent information that will assist health managers at all
> levels in making informed, intelligent decisions. Several partner or-
> ganizations worked with the Ministry of Health to make this web re-
> source possible, including the Delivery of Improved Services for
> Health II (DISH II) Project, the United States Agency for Interna-
> tional Development (USAID), DANIDA, and WHO.
