Summary
BNUU provides access to quality community based mental health services in remote areas of northern Uganda. Our mandate is to train health workers in primary health care facilities to assess and treat persons with mental illness. Our beneficiaries are empowered to set-up community drug banks at the health facilities, to ensure consistent access to mental health medicines. This project will provide start-up medicines to the community drug bank, and seed capital to self-help groups' loaning schemes
