Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD)

The Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD) is a mainstream legal and human rights indigenous Non-Governmental Organisation established in 2010 to pioneer the justiciability of the right to health in Uganda and East Africa with regional and global contribution and impact. We address social injustices, inequalities and health rights violations in health systems and other sectors which impact health outcomes for girls, women and other vulnerable communities. The organisation advances the health rights of vulnerable communities through tested approaches that include litigation, advocacy, research, empowerment and social movement building to realise equitable health and human rights for all. Our interventions are implemented at national, sub-national and community levels in Uganda and within East Africa. We seek to impact laws and policies; health practices and services and change of social norms and practices which impact negatively on the realization of health and human rights. We strongly believe that a more equal and just society enables individuals and communities to thrive and realise their full potential, and this is critical for sustainable development. We are committed to advancing social justice and human rights in health for all people, with particular attention to the most vulnerable.
