African-Hungarian Union (AHU) Health Centers Project
Description/achievement of initiative

The objective of the African-Hungarian Union (AHU) Health Centers Project is to maintain long term and sustainable health care service infrastructure in those African countries where accessibility proves to be a major issue for the population.

Implementation methodologies

The African Hungarian Union has already organized three medical missions to improve the health status of the people of Uganda. The experience and political connections gained throughout these initiatives have led the organization to establish its first permanent health center in Kapeke village, which lies 85 km away from the capital.
