Synopsis: Emmanuel Katto’s Emka Foundation brings change in Uganda via healthcare campaign for underprivileged children and provide medical facility.

Any Ugandan will likely respond that their health and the health of their family is what bothers them most about life when asked.

The health and life expectancy of Ugandans are among the lowest in the world. In Uganda, 1 in 200 births result in the death of the mother, 1 million people live with HIV, and less than 10% of children under the age of five sleep beneath insecticide-treated nets, despite malaria accounting for 14% of all fatalities. The World Health Organization rates Uganda's healthcare system as one of the worst in the whole world. The nation is 186th out of 191 countries.

However, there are some notable improvements in stabilizing the healthcare facility with a little but impactful contribution by Emmanuel Katto, Uganda based businessman.
