Who We Are

The Rural Health Team (RHT) is a dynamic group of young medical and non-medical professionals united by a shared mission: to bring quality healthcare and health education to underserved rural communities in Tororo District and beyond. Founded in 2017, RHT emerged from the annual medical outreach programs organized by the Anthill Foundation and Rotary International. Registered as a Community-Based Organization (CBO), we work in partnership with the Tororo District Health Office and other nonprofit organizations to transform healthcare access and improve health standards in rural Uganda.

Our Mission

We aim to provide the highest possible level of healthcare to rural communities through preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services. At RHT, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of where they live. We are dedicated to bridging the healthcare gap by offering free medical services, health education, and outreach clinics to the most remote and vulnerable populations.

Vision

Our vision is a healthier rural Uganda where every individual has access to reliable, affordable, and high-quality healthcare services. We prioritize community participation and ownership, empowering rural populations to take control of their health and well-being.

Our Commitment

At Rural Health Team, we are more than a healthcare provider; we are part of the community we serve. Our commitment extends beyond clinics and outreaches. We invest in long-term relationships, mentoring, and educational programs that inspire a legacy of health literacy and self-sufficiency.
We invite you to join us in our mission, as we continue to build a healthier, empowered Uganda. Together, we can create a future where healthcare is not a privilege but a right for all.
