Health Education & Referrals

Nsambya Home Care provides ongoing health education to empower clients, families, and communities with accurate information about disease prevention, treatment adherence, and healthy living. Through group sessions, community dialogues, and one-on-one counseling, individuals are supported to make informed health choices and adopt lasting healthy habits.

The program also offers referral services to ensure clients receive timely and appropriate care. Working closely with hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, and specialised service providers, Nsambya Home Care links people to medical, psychosocial, and legal support. This integrated service improves continuity of care and strengthens outcomes for clients and their families.
