Uganda: twenty years of conflict
After two decades of fighting between the Ugandan authorities and the Lords Resistance Army there remains little sign of a peaceful solution.

In collaboration with the Uganda Red Cross Society, other international humanitarian organizations, the Ministry of Health and local health authorities the ICRC supports existing hospitals and health facilities, trains health workers and strengthens community-based projects to maintain access to health care for around 300,000 displaced people in more than 15 IDP camps.
