Bringing health and hope to Northern Uganda
By building relationships, resources and
self reliance
Yotkom Uganda aims to improve access and provide excellence in healthcare through partnering with the local people of Northern Uganda. We are a registered Australian charity.
Northern Uganda is in a region of the World where there is a high disease burden. Rates of Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV / AIDS are amongst the highest in the world. YOTKOM is an ACHOLI word meaning “HEALTH” (local spoken language) “Partnering to enhance holistic healthcare access and quality in Northern Uganda by building relationships, optimising resources, and promoting self-reliance.” At Yotkom, we uphold our values of faith, love, respect, truth, and excellence in our relationships with each other, our patients and the Acholi community.
