Thank you to the MPA program and the Brooks School of Public Policy for providing us with the opportunity to work on this project as our capstone project.
Health care in rural Uganda is multifaceted. It becomes evident, through reviewing the vast amount of literature covering the subject, that a comprehensive understanding of the health beliefs, barriers to healthcare access, and the intricate interplay of traditional medicine is essential to reduce the disparities in health outcomes currently seen in the region.
