Bringing Mobile Clinics to Urban Refugees in Kampala - Arabic Version

As part of a series of urban gender-based violence (GBV) pilot interventions, in 2016 the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) partnered with Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) to address information, service, and support gaps affecting at-risk refugee populations living in Kampala. One component of the project involved bringing a free mobile clinic to neighborhoods in Kampala with high refugee populations.

The clinic provided a range of health and psychosocial support services, including for GBV survivors, and was especially aimed at reaching individuals who would otherwise not be accessing services. This included refugee women who reported being unable to travel to static sites due to stigma, fear, transportation barriers, and other reasons.
