HCU works with communities in southwest Uganda. MUST and HCU offices are in the city of Mbarara, the second largest city in Uganda.

Our activities aim to improve adolescent, women, child, and newborn health in target districts. To date, activities have been conducted in Bushenyi, Rubirizi, Ntungamo, Buhweju, and Mbarara districts, which has a total population of several million people. SW Uganda districts are highly populated and rural area struggle with poverty, and persistent high maternal newborn and child death and morbidity. They remain priority districts for maternal, child, and adolescent health programming according to the national government. (Insert SW Uganda district map)

In Canada, HCU partners also promote engagement in global health at their respective universities and through Canadian networks, including the Canadian Paediatric Society.
