The Patient Charter is an official document by the Government of Uganda that spells out the various Patient Rights and Responsibilities for the service consumers in the national health care system.
This document serves as a set of guidelines aimed at ensuring the provision of quality, accessible and equitable health care services across the country by defining the minimum requirements for service delivery, health facilities and workforce.
This decree establishes an autonomous fund to receive revenues from the recovery of primary health care costs in each Integrated Health Center. This fund will primarily support the purchase of essential generic drugs and consumables, the purchase of management tools for cost recovery and the payment of managers' salaries.
