UHMG wishes to announce the 5th Regional Marketing Conferences scheduled to take place in Gulu on 11th November 2011 and Fort-portal on 25th November 2011 respectively under the theme: "Investing in Human Resource: A Best Practice for the Private Health Sector".
The Theme ‘Investing in human Resource: A a Best Practice for the Private Health Sector’, was conceived during a consultative meeting with key stakeholders in the health sector. One of the biggest challenges highlighted was the aspect of human resource retention, motivation and quality service delivery. It has been proven through research that a number of practices are affected by high staff turn- over which compromises the delivery of service and care to the client/patient.
As part of our agenda to improve the lives of Ugandans, UHMG supports the private health sector to improve health care delivery across the country. UHMG’s support to private health practitioners includes, technical assistance to deliver quality services, improving efficiencies and fostering networks for increased access and utilization of integrated services for HIV/AIDS prevention and care, family planning, maternal and child health and malaria prevention and treatment. The focus is also to help private health practitioners to appreciate the synergies of public-private partnerships in delivery of comprehensive health services. UHMG also supports private health practitioners to establish and/or strengthen referral mechanisms amongst themselves and with public health facilities.
