districts) and is part of the broader national healthcare policy of
public-private partnerships. It aims to strengthen and improve the diocesan

areas of activity, technical assistance is provided to the district’s
healthcare offices, above all in planning and monitoring activities and
information systems.

completion of the Dot Strategy whereby treatment for tuberculosis is given
under direct observation in the Yumbe and Arua districts.

available at the Angal and Maracha hospitals, respectively in the districts of
Arua and Nebbi, involves four main types of activity: follow-up support for
mothers in the PMTCT programme in those hospitals; organisation and expansion
of the home visit programme for AIDS sufferers in the borough of Maracha and in
the county of Padyere; organisation of the supply of medicines needed to combat
these illnesses; support in the collection and distribution of medicines to
combat tuberculosis for the home treatment programme.

purely rehabilitative intervention; Doctors with Africa CUAMM’s contribution
lies in the management and supervision of the work through staff who are
already working on other projects in the area.

Refugees are a common feature in Africa and Uganda is no exception.However,
Uganda does not have the resources to provide healthcare to all its own
citizens, let alone to refugees. Refugeehealth services are therefore usually
set up and provided separatelyby international organizations such as the United
Nations HighCommissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). However, such services oftenend
up being the only available or reliable services in a particularlocation for
both host and refugee populations. Yet the hostpopulations are often denied
access to these services because,in theory, other services are being provided
by their government.The case study in the West Nile region of Uganda describes
howhost and refugee services were integrated in an attempt to addressthe
concerns of inequity of access to care for host populations,when reasonably
good health services were available to nearbyrefugee populations. The paper
identifies and discusses thechallenges
encountered and those remaining.
Key Words: integration, health service, refugees, host population, Uganda

are not operational and have no Parish chiefs to manage them.The District
covers a total land area of 820.8 km2. The area covered by the rivers and
streams is small. Forest and hills cover about 12% of the land area. Over 88%
of the land is arable and suitable for agriculture. Koboko District comprises
