Like many African countries, Uganda is still far back in the Health care provision compared to the developed world. The situation is worse as you go further into the Ugandan villages. Many interventions have been put in place by the government to improve the health care provision but there is still a long way to go.

One of the indicators of health is the infant mortality rate (IMR) and under five mortality rate (UFMR) in Uganda they are at 76 and 137 per 10,000 live births respectively. This means that one in every 13 babies born in Uganda does not live to their first birthday, and one in every seven Ugandan babies does not survive to the fifth birthday. (From the Uganda health and demographic survey 2006)

Agro-Tech Organization Society (ATOS) a non-governmental organization, currently working in Nabbaale Sub - county is already through with its health programs to help in intervene and improve the health in Ugandan villages, because not only the children are affected but also the adults. And more so the health of the children depends much more on that of their parents.
