In Ugandas state hospitals and clinics, the government provides free treatment and medicine — but supplies of both doctors and drugs are short.

Hospitals receive some help from volunteer organizations like Doctors Without Borders that provide medical staff, but low salaries and long hours deter many Ugandan doctors from service.
Worldfocus special correspondent Martin Seemungal travels to a small hospital in northern Uganda where patients come by the hundreds and wait for hours to receive treatment from a handful of dedicated caregivers.

Bloggers write from Uganda about their experiences on the ground at http://worldfocus.org/blog/2008/12/10/free-healthcare-but-long-lines-in-ugand...
