Mosquito Net Distribution

February 19th, 2009

Save For Health Uganda is an organization based in Luweero that provides community-based health insurance schemes to more than 5,000 clients. Many of these clients use Bishop Asili as their health care provider. Save For Health has now partnered with Bishop Asili in distribution of over 3,000 mosquito nets that have been donated to the hospital by Just Like My Child Foundation. The mosquito nets will be distributed by Save For Health to members of the insurance schemes for a subsidized cost of 2,500/=UGSH. These mosquito nets will serve as an incentive to those involved in the program to continue to value the health of their households. The money from the sale of those nets will be used by Bishop Asili to pay for the salaries of much needed additional staff.

Nazibanja Juliet (Save For Health, project Coordinator) and Tessa Davis (Just Like My Child Foundation, Country Director) meet to go over terms of agreement for the new partnership as well as discuss logistics of distribution
