As the world is emerging from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) development agenda, and prepares itself to embark on Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in Uganda efforts to prepare the country for this transition are taking shape and gathering momentum. Key agencies of government and other sectors whose role it is to deliver on health are engaged in discussions regarding their roles and potential contributions to the achievement of UHC.
