Here are some of the key highlights:
Clinical services grew significantly, especially in maternal, newborn, and child health. We recorded 3,755 ANC visits, 1,137 safe deliveries, and 2,833 family planning clients, with a noted increase in uptake of long-term methods by over 20%.
Teenage pregnancies accounted for 13% of ANC attendance, reaffirming the importance of youth-friendly services. Among the Batwa community, skilled deliveries rose to 96% and child malnutrition dropped to 1.6%, showing the impact of sustained community outreach.
Through the MamaBaby Bwindi project, over 500 vulnerable mothers received strengthened support for safe motherhood during the year. Neonatal care continued to improve, with 282 admissions and a 92.3% survival rate in the NICU.
Despite the loss of USAID UPMB-LSDA funding, our HIV and TB programs remained resilient. Over 5,000 clients were tested, all positive cases were linked to care, and viral suppression improved to 98.7%. TB screening expanded and all diagnosed patients were successfully initiated on treatment.
A major highlight of the year was the completion of the new Dental and Vision Clinic, which now brings essential oral and eye care closer to the community.
Our training wing made significant progress by obtaining a provisional licence for the African University of Science and Management (AUSM), marking a key step toward becoming a fully fledged university.
We are truly grateful for your continued support and partnership. We invite you to explore this report for a fuller picture of our progress and our shared vision for a healthier, stronger future for B*H and the communities we serve.
