About HomeBridge+
Extending holistic healthcare beyond hospital walls into homes and communities across Uganda
Project Goal

The Healthcare Crisis
🫀 NCD Epidemic
of deaths in Uganda are caused by NCDs
probability of premature death from major NCDs

👶 Maternal & Child Health

neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births
Only 33% of mothers receive postnatal checks within recommended time
🏥 Readmission Crisis
of children with severe anemia readmitted within 6 months
of adult medical patients readmitted within 30 days
Heart failure patients face 17-27% readmission rates
The Critical Gap We Address
Our Innovative Solution
HomeBridge+ is an innovation that seeks to cover the gap in lack of early home visits, consistent monitoring, and timely reassessment by health professionals which undermine recovery and increases both patient suffering and healthcare costs.
The project demonstrates the urgent need for integrated post-discharge strategies—such as home follow-ups, wellness assessments, and patient education—to reduce avoidable readmissions, ensure continuity of care, and foster healthier communities.
