The government of Uganda was among the first countries to implement health sector reforms through a decentralized system of governance. Some of the reforms include the Primary Health Care (PHC) and the Minimum Health Care Package (MHCP) which contributed to achieving a number of health outcome indicators. The second National Health Policy (NHP II) which derives from the Health Sector Strategic Plan 2015/2016 – 2019/2020 covers a ten- year period (2010/11- 2019/20).
The goal of Uganda’ National Health Sector is to accelerate movement towards Universal Health Coverage of essential health and related services necessary for promoting a healthy and productive life . However, health which is a basic human right and vital for sustainable development is far from reach by women living with HIV. Majority of women living with HIV are more vulnerable to poor nutrition, poverty, preventable diseases, stigma and discrimination, violence including intimate partner abuse, and disability.
