Tuesday, 15 July, 2025
A quarter of Uganda’s population is aged 10–19 years and majority live in rural areas. Access to sexual and reproductive health services and rights (SRHR) remains a challenge among this population, contributing to a high teenage pregnancy rate of 24.9% in rural Uganda. The study assessed the accessibility of SRHR information, services and competences of health facilities among adolescents and their care givers in Namutumba and Bugiri districts.
