Our Focus areas
HIV/Aids testing and counselling
In order to improve the health of people living with HIV/AIDs and reduce new HIV infections, Megahit Health Organization is engaged in activities to provide more people with HIV testing, and ensure those diagnosed with the virus are linked to prompt ongoing HIV care. We also offer related services such as PrEP and PEP.
Dewarming Programs
Un treated worm infections prevent children’s healthy growth, cause poor nutrition and reduce their capacity to concentrate and learn. Megahit Health Organization therefore prioritizes deworming of the public through treatment with a simple, safe, effective and free of charge single dose drug that drastically reduces the number of worms with its associated outcomes.
Safe water and sanitation campaigns
Megahit Health Organization work towards ensuring access to safe water sources and promote a healthy living environment. We ramp up efforts to get more water wells constructed in rural communities of Uganda where clean water is in acute shortage. A majority of rural communities lack clean water; villagers often have to travel several miles to fetch clean water.
Health Education
Health education is a vital component of public health and key to empowering individuals and communities to make informed decisions about their health and support people to adopt healthy behaviors and lifestyles. We offer capacity-building workshops, training programs and skill development initiatives to enhance the knowledge and capabilities of healthcare providers and community health workers. By providing individuals with the information they need to make informed health decisions, we can foster healthier lifestyles, reduce the incidence of diseases, and enhance the overall quality of life.
