Most private not-for-profit (PNFP)
health providers in Uganda are faith-based. They account for
a sizeable proportion of the health services delivered in
the country and have as their prime concern the provision of
services to the poor. These providers are coordinated
through umbrella organizations, such as the Catholic,
Protestant, and Muslim Medical Bureaus and the Uganda
Community Based Health Care Association. This article
documents the experiences of the Catholic health network in
Uganda and its umbrella organization, the Uganda Catholic
Medical Bureau (UCMB) in making health services work for
poor people. It demonstrates how the pro-poor ethos derived
from a longstanding tradition and the mission of healing by
treating and preventing diseases, with a preferential option
for the less privileged supported by soft regulation and
technical assistance from the umbrella organization can
induce a process of activity. |
