UPSA ANNUAL MEDICAL OUTREACH

In a significant health outreach, the Uganda Pharmaceutical Students' Association (UPSA) partnered with pharmacy student associations from Mbarara University, Kampala International University, Makerere University, and Victoria University to promote sexual and reproductive health among youth in Bukedi's rural region. This collaborative effort took place over three days at Mulanda Health Center IV in Tororo District, under the theme "Sexual Reproductive Rights and Health Among Youth in Bukedi Subregion." The event provided essential health services, including free contraceptives, family planning guidance, STI testing and management, and mental health counseling. The camp aimed to tackle obstacles that young people in rural Uganda face in accessing accurate health information and services, often limited by stigma, cultural norms, and economic constraints. Through educational sessions and one-on-one consultations led by trained professionals and students, youth participants learned about safe sex practices, STI prevention, family planning, and mental well-being. The outreach drew hundreds of young participants, offering them a non-judgmental space to discuss sensitive health issues. The event highlighted the power of partnerships in addressing public health challenges and laid the foundation for sustainable health education and support in rural areas. Looking forward, UPSA and its partners plan to sustain this impact by organizing additional health programs, engaging local health centers, and utilizing digital tools to improve ongoing education and access to resources. This medical camp represents a collaborative stride towards bridging the healthcare gap for young people in underserved communities.
