This effort was spearheaded by Brig. Dr. Sam Lwanga, the organization's first executive director. In the beginning, the vision of the founders was to create an advocacy platform on which they would raise a combined voice in relation to the protection of the rights of health consumers in Uganda.〔 Over the years, UNHCO has been advocating for effective citizen participation in healthcare delivery and sustainable access to affordable and quality healthcare services. This has been based on the mutuality of rights and obligations of both the health service providers and users.〔 In executing her mandate, UNHCO employs an empowerment strategy that focuses on strengthening the capacity of local communities to demand and hold service providers and policy makers accountable. This Rights Based Approach (RBA) enables citizens to appreciate health service delivery as a right and not as a privilege.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= SCA Kenya Participants Announced )〕 At the community level, UNHCO works mainly through community resource persons selected from partner CBOs, Health Unit Management Committees (HUMCs), health service providers and Local Councils (LCs) or individuals seconded by the communities themselves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= UNHCO Community Monitoring Experience )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Community monitoring saves mothers in Oyam )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uganda National Health Consumers' Organisation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
