Nakivale camp, in southern Uganda, received a huge influx of refugees in 2023, as over 30,000 people were displaced by a resurgence in fighting between the armed forces and the M23 armed group in the eastern part of Democratic Republic of Congo. Throughout the year, our teams ran mobile clinics, providing general healthcare to people living in extremely precarious conditions in the camp.
In Kasese district, we continued to run a dedicated clinic for adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years, inside a Ministry of Health centre. The clinic offers a broad range of medical services tailored to adolescents’ needs, including sexual and reproductive healthcare, with a specific focus on pregnant teenagers, treatment for people living with HIV and sickle cell disease, as well as social and mental health support.
In 2023, we handed over our programme in Arua to the Ugandan health authorities and their partners in West Nile sub-region. For over 20 years, our project had been providing care for HIV and tuberculosis patients and victims of sexual violence. We also handed over our mental health and sexual violence programmes in Imvepi and Omugo refugee settlements.
