Health
sector in Luwero district is one of the best performing
areas and has made many achievements since the
end of the liberation war of 1981-1986 that devastated
the area. Many people had lost their property
and relatives; those who survived were weak and
vulnerable to disease.
Government
has put in place measures to access medical services
to the district by building and equipping hospitals
and dispensaries. Currently, Luwero district has
a total of 75 health facilities (including three
hospitals, nine health centers, 17 dispensaries
and 46 other lower categories).

| Education
is one of the major priorities in Luwero district.
The District Education Department targets training
of the entire community through several programmes.
These include the government’s Universal
Primary Education (UPE) for primary school-going
children, pre-primary school training, tertiary
and vocational training, college and university
training. The overall objective is to create a
developmental, literate society.
The
government-aided primary schools are distributed
throughout the district. UPE has tremendously
increased the enrollment for primary education
but the district is faced with the challenge of
increasing levels of school drop outs at higher
levels of education.
