It is only in the areas of maternal and child health that we may not achieve the set targets by 2015. However, in Uganda, we have developed a National Roadmap to accelerate the reduction of maternal and child mortality and morbidity. This is our comprehensive strategy which clearly spells out our national priorities. In this regard, we have prioritized 4 key interventions which include: effective antenatal care, skilled attendance at birth, emergency care for women who experience complications of child birth as well as family planning. We have also prioritized infrastructure that supports and strengthens the healthcare system. Regarding MDG 6, Uganda had made tremendous efforts regarding HIV/AIDS prevention and control. We are now renewing our efforts to deal with the challenges of this epidemic.
