About STITCH-UGANDA
The Strengthening Integrated Transformation of Community Health (STITCH UGANDA) emerges from a deep recognition of the pivotal role that community-based organizations play in the health system. Rooted in the Abim District of North Eastern Uganda, STITCH UGANDA is dedicated to the holistic betterment of peri-urban and rural communities.
The five-year strategic plan is a testament to our commitment to advance community health, nutrition and hygiene initiatives. It stands as a beacon for cultivating knowledge that fosters robust health practices and sustainable development. Our aim is clear: to address prevailing public health concerns and promote the well-being of women, children, vulnerable individuals, and the broader community.
To effectively support transformation and actions towards integrated health service delivery, a health-system-wide approach is needed, which includes the participation of all of government and all of society supported by the implementation of multiple, aligned policies simultaneously applied to the different levels of the health systems within an enabling environment. |
With a foundation anchored in experience and expertise, STITCH UGANDA aspires to forge a dynamic community health system. We envision a continuum of care that is accessible, responsive, and tailored to the unique needs of individuals across their lifespan.
Quality, effectiveness, and people-centeredness are the cornerstones of our approach.
In this pursuit, we are guided by a deep respect for the natural environment and a dedication to its preservation for generations to come. We acknowledge that a well-facilitated administrative structure, coupled with the empowerment of community health workers, is integral to achieving our goals.
Our constitution serves as the bedrock upon which our collective efforts will flourish.
