In Uganda, 10 million rural citizens live in a healthcare 'black hole', with no quality primary care facilities within a 5 km radius. When people get sick they either wait and hope they get better or spend a crippling amount of money to reach a distant health facility.
At One Day Health we set up lean healthcare centers equipped with exceptionally trained nurses and a suite of diagnostic devices and drugs to treat 90% of the local disease burden that offers affordable, high-quality care to remote, vulnerable populations in Northern Uganda.
Outcomes for women giving birth in remote rural areas of Uganda are amongst the worst in the world. Costs of antenatal care, transport to a skilled birth assistant, delivery, and postnatal care mean these women are forced to make difficult choices about where to spend their limited income. OneDay Health is committed to providing accessible, affordable, high-quality healthcare for women living in these healthcare black holes, who have no other good maternal healthcare options.

I’ve never been more proud than to stand next to my wonderful friend Emma as he shared his personal struggle to provide healthcare in remote rural areas and why our OneDay Health model has so much to offer the future of rural healthcare. I struggled to keep tears in check! We’re so proud to share our story of how OneDay Health has grown from a passion and idea to 50 health centers across Uganda treating 300,000 patients.
We can't appreciate the 100x Impact Accelerator team enough for selecting, supporting and accelerating us over the last 6 months. You’ve helped OneDay Health land on a strategy and platform where we're ready to scale healthcare to those who need it the most, faster than ever before. Both in Uganda and for the first time to other countries as well. Thanks so much Carl, Nell, Shanzeh, Kristina, Stephan Chambers, Fan, Aggrey, Georgia, Kayleigh
And a special thanks to our incredible mentor Chesca Colloredo-Mansfeld and our 100x brothers and sisters who have taught us so much about both how to dream big and build a resilient organisation Intelehealth, CHANCEN International, Wysa, ImpulsoGov, RightWalk Foundation, Tarjimly, Reap Benefit, The SPPG, Peepul
If you're keen for a dose of pre-christmas inspiration, check out our pitch – I promise it’s worth the 5 minutes ;).
7 years ago through serendipity or providence I met the amazing Pranav Sridhar at the first UNLEASH innovation lab.
By the end of the lab we were convinced we just might have a way to solve the remote healthcare problem in Uganda. With Emmanuel Ochola we got to work and through our scalable healthcare architecture 4 OneDay Health centers became 10, then 20, now 47. We look forward to our 50th OneDay Health center this year and another step towards our vision that OneDay, every Sub-Saharan African will have access to quality healthcare.
For the first time Pranav got to visit Uganda and meet the lifeblood of OneDay Health - our incredible nurses. Yesterday morning we visited the effervescent Juliet in Nyapea. While we were there a 7 month old came in with malaria and a young man who had a terribly infected leg after receiving poor care at a local drug shop. In Juliet's capable hands they'll get better fast.
I'm so grateful for our whole OneDay Health team, from our incredible nurses to board members like Pranav who volunteer so much time and energy.
We were privileged to see a microcosm of the live giving work our nurses do every day, all around Uganda.
OneDay Health nurses live and work in remote rural communities. Because of this, getting together as a team isn’t an easy thing to organise! So it was great to see all the smiling faces at this recent combined hub meeting, where nurses enjoyed learning new skills and sharing experiences.
