This HSA for Uganda was carried out in 2011, during the first year of implementation of the Uganda Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP) 2010/11–2014/15. The findings of this assessment will serve as a baseline of Uganda‟s health system at the beginning of HSSIP implementation. It would be beneficial for a similar assessment to be carried out toward the end of HSSIP implementation, to measure the progress that the health system will have made in the ensuing years. Thus, to some extent, recommendations provided in this HSA are intentionally aligned with the HSSIP. .
