FOREWORD
T
he Government of Uganda and partners in health concluded the implementaon of the rst ten-yearNaonal Health Policy (1999/2000 – 2009/10) and the second Health Sector Strategic Plan (2005/06 – 2009/10). During this me, the overall development agenda for Uganda was guided by the PovertyEradicaon Acon Plan revised every three years, the Millennium Development Goals and other internaonaland regional health commitments. Over this period, the health sector investments in both the public andprivate sectors yielded modest successes including reducon in Maternal Mortality Rao (MMR) from 505deaths per 100,000 live births in 2001 to 435 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2006, a decline in the InfantMortality Rate (IMR) from 89 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2001 to 75 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 andan increase in the Life Expectancy at birth from 46.9 years in 2001 to 51 years in 2006. Despite these successes,health systems and other challenges prevented aainment of key naonal and internaonal targets.The Naonal Development Plan (NDP) 2010/11 – 2014/15 has been launched and sets Uganda’s mediumterm strategic direcon, development priories and implementaon strategies. The NDP’s theme is ‘Growth,Employment and Socio-economic transformaon for Prosperity” and the thrust is to accelerate transformaonof Ugandan society from a peasant to modern and prosperous country within 30 years.With this guidance, the health sector led by the Ministry of Health elaborated the second Naonal HealthPolicy (2010/11 – 2019/20) and the Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP) 2010/11 – 2014/15to dene the long and medium term health agenda and operaonalise Uganda’s aspiraons as outlined in theNDP and the Public Investment Plan (PIP) 2010/11 – 2012/13. The development of HSSIP has been informed bylessons from the Mid Term Review of the second Health Sector Strategic Plan (2005/06 – 2009/10), the reviewof the Poverty Eradicaon Acon Plan, health research in Uganda and in the Region and the Global HealthAgenda. The process of development of the HSSIP was highly consultave, parcipatory and transparent.Stakeholders including public sector, line ministries, health service managers, District leaders, private not-for prot sector, private health praconers, Civil Society Organizaons and development partners wereconsulted on several levels and occasions. The process also beneted from the Joint Assessment of NaonalStrategies (JANS) process which seeks to ensure that naonal strategies address the prevailing challenges,improve the focus and priorizaon within naonal strategies and builds consensus among the partners insupport on one naonal strategy for health development.I am therefore certain that the HSSIP not only addresses the key challenges facing Uganda’s health system butalso sets out priories and key areas on which to focus health investment in the medium term, for both publicand private partners, in order to opmally contribute to the aainment of both the health sector goals and thenaonal goals as outlined in the NDP. The implementaon of the HSSIP shall be through a strong collaboravepartnership guided by the principles outlined in the Internaonal Health Partnerships and related Iniaves(IHP+), the Paris Declaraon on Harmonizaon and Alignment and the Accra Agenda for Acon all to whichUganda is a signatory.I wish to express my appreciaon to all of you who worked relessly to develop the HSSIP on behalf of thepeople of Uganda. I look forward to the acceleraon of the implementaon of HSSIP intervenons towardsaainment of our naonal and internaonal health goals.For God and My Country.Dr. Stephen Mallinga, MP
Minister of Health
