In Uganda, the problem of delivery of health care is more than just economics – everything (politics, culture, and religion) impacts every aspect of it which is why it is not easy to effect a change in the system, at least in the short term. The best changes we can help make are the ones that are sustainable, practical, and empowering to the people. The work HVO is doing is very tangible, sending volunteers that help teach young doctors and identify realizable and practical projects that will make a difference in their patient care.
