Yesterday, LifeNet, in partnership with USAID, USAID ASHA, Joint Medical Store, and the U.S. Mission Uganda held a flagging-off ceremony for life-saving equipment to be distributed to 36 of LifeNet's network of 129 health facilities in Uganda. This equipment will be used to better serve patients and save many lives, especially for mothers and children. It was an honor to work with Ambassador William Popp; USAID Mission Director Daniele Nyirandutiye; USAID AOR Azara Turaki; the whole team at the USAID mission in Uganda; Dr. Daniel Kyabayinze, Director of Public Health for the Uganda Ministry of Health; Baguma Bildard, Executive Director of Joint Medical Store; and the wonderful team at Joint Medical Store who hosted this event. We thank all of our partners who collaborated on this event and continue to collaborate to improve the quality of healthcare accessible to vulnerable communities. #WorkWithUSAID

Transforming healthcare across Africa
About us
LifeNet International is a consolidated network of health facilities transforming healthcare and health outcomes across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). LifeNet makes quality healthcare accessible to underserved and marginalized communities through existing health facilities located in hard-to-reach areas of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, and Uganda. As 40% or more of all health services in SSA are faith-based, we primarily target this large and influential market. Our primary goal is to reduce mortality in highly vulnerable areas. We do so by consolidating individual health facilities and smaller health networks into the LifeNet network, a trusted source of quality, compassionate care. This network delivers essential services to the lowest quintile patients, maintaining international standards of care within safe and well-managed facilities thanks to ongoing training, tools, and quality assurance from LifeNet. In 2023, the LifeNet network of 400+ health facilities provided high quality healthcare to more than 8 million patient visits and ensured 167,000+ safe deliveries. The same year, healthcare providers saved the lives of 5,045 mothers and babies at birth.
