THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Annual Health Sector Performance Report Financial Year 2009/2010 ii Annual Health Sector Performance Report Foreword The Annual Health Sector Performance Report for 2009-10 provides a review of sector performance in the 2009-10 financial year, and an overall assessment of sector performance against the targets set in the second Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP II). It also reports on implementation progress against the sector priorities set at the 7th National Health Assembly and the 15th Joint Review Mission with stakeholders. The Government of Uganda recognizes the contribution of Health Development Partners, Civil Society, the Private Sector and all Ugandans in the achievement of the progress reported in the sector performance. The sector also appreciates the constructive criticism, useful guidance and inputs that the said stakeholders put in correcting inadequacies in the health sector. The sector cannot afford to continue with the usual way of doing things in the face of unacceptable failure to improve indicators in maternal and child health. This report coincides with the launching of the new National Health Policy II (NHP II) and the Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP). These have been aligned to the National Development Plan to enable holistic implementation of the Development agenda of Government. The sector will continue to prioritize interventions defined in the Uganda National Minimum Health Care Package under a Sector-Wide Approach arrangement, so as to maximize gains from invested resources. This will further be supported by the International Health Partnerships Plus framework. However, this will require concerted efforts by all stakeholders in health systems strengthening, including, crucially, the leadership and management capacity development in the sector. It is only by strengthening the health system that we can deliver on strategies in the HSSIP and NDP. Dr. Stephen O.
