About

Partners

We believe close collaboration and mutual trust are essential to improving health outcomes. We build longterm relationships — with the Ministry of Health, World Health Organization, NGOs and research funders — in order to achieve our shared goal of a healthier Uganda.

Uganda Ministry of Health

The Ministry of Health is our main partner. Clinical interventions are conducted under the direction of the Director General Health Services and the Director Clinical Services at the Ministry of Health. They provide guidance on all policy engagements.

World Health Organization

Walimu operations are in resonance with the World Health Organization’s guidance and policies wherever possible. We work directly on key WHO country office priorities, such as polio elimination.

Uganda National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program

We work closely with the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program to scale up successful interventions that improve tuberculosis outcomes.
