Abstract:
Despite significant gains in Uganda's primary healthcare, about 25% of Ugandans still face substantial barriers to accessing health services due to distance, poverty, and inadequate infrastructure. Village Health Teams (VHTs) were established to bridge these gaps, but there are concerns regarding their reach, effectiveness, and ability to improve community health outcome
