PROFA Uganda targets people with life-saving health care services. The targeted population include caseloads of IDPs and refugee, and 50 per cent of the host community population. PROFA’s Health Sector response activities aim to improve access to health care services for a prioritized vulnerable population in order to reduce excess morbidity and mortality of epidemic-prone diseases. Integrated quality essential health care services with nutrition, food security and livelihoods, WASH, and health protection will be scaled-up targeting people with physical and mental disabilities and survivors of SGBV. Improved access to essential health services will contribute to the overall reduction of the high maternal mortality rates in women and children and mitigate the transmission of vaccine preventable diseases. PROFA Uganda Health Sector plan prioritized responses based on the epidemiological profile of disease outbreaks and seasonality and trauma related emergency requirements.
