Resources for Health Facilities
Health facilities across Uganda rely on accurate, up-to-date guidance to ensure the proper handling, storage, and management of medicines and vaccines. This Resource Center provides all essential documents in one place; from national guidelines to step-by-step manuals, standard operating procedures, and training materials used across the public health supply chain. Whether you are a Medical Stores Supervisor (MSS), health facility in-charge, pharmacy technician, cold chain officer, or a district health leader, this is your central hub for all operational and regulatory documents.
