Uganda has taken another step toward modernizing its health system with the launch of a new e-health project supported by the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH).
The initiative was introduced during a project kickoff workshop held this week, bringing together government officials, health experts, and development partners.
According to officials from KOFIH, the project aims to improve basic health services by using digital e-content to support health education, train healthcare workers, and strengthen data management.
The digital content will also be used to offer remote support to health teams, especially in areas where access to specialists is limited.
The project will be implemented in Namanve Industrial Park and nearby communities, where thousands of workers and residents are expected to benefit from improved access to health information and preventive care.
Health experts say that e-content is now a major part of Uganda’s national health strategy because it helps reduce gaps in access to health services, especially in fast-growing industrial areas.
KOFIH stated that the program will work with local health workers and “champion presenters” to ensure that information reaches communities in a clear and practical way.
The goal is to improve people’s well-being by giving them timely, accurate, and easy-to-understand health knowledge.
Officials expressed hope that this partnership will support Uganda’s broader plan to use technology to strengthen public health systems.
