Bringing health and hope to northern Uganda
By building relationships, resources and self reliance

Yotkom Uganda aims to improve access and provide excellence in healthcare through partnering with the local people of Northern Uganda. We are a registered Australian charity.

A decade of impact and more
Northern Uganda is in the region of the World where there is a high disease burden. Rates of Malaria, Tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS are amongst the highest in the world. YOTKOM is an ACHOLI word meaning “HEALTH” (local spoken language) “Partnering to enhance holistic healthcare access and quality in Northern Uganda by building relationships, optimizing resources, and promoting self-reliance.” At Yotkom, we uphold our values of faith, love, respect, truth, and excellence in our relationships with each other, our patients and the Acholi community.
