Many women not as lucky to get through child birth

One of such groups is the HIV/AIDS activists who have called for the need to increase in the budget allocation to the health sector.

The Uganda director international community of women living with HIV/AIDS East Africa Lillian Mwoleko says, the health budget allocation should be increased from the current 9% to 15%. She urgues that such an increment will help improve service delivery in the sector especially in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

According to African union Maputo declaration of 2003, member countries agreed to committee at least 15% of their annual national Budget to the health sector.

But Mwoleko says Uganda’s national budget share to the health still remains at 9% with maternal and child health being the least funded.
