CHEP is a community outreach aimed at alleviating the plight of low-income communities in Uganda. It particularly intends to improve access to health care services through mobile clinics, provide effective and efficient health care to the growing population of children in Uganda, create awareness through health education, as well as mentorship for the medical students through shared experiences and practical lessons ultimately bridging the human resource gap in Uganda’s Health Care system.
