Ishaka Health Plan

Affordable healthcare for village families

IHP helps households in Greater Bushenyi save for healthcare before sickness strikes. Members pay small regular contributions into a shared pool, so no one family carries the full cost alone when someone falls ill.

We started in 1999. Our community insurance model has been running since 2007. Today we cover over 5,000 people through families, schools, SACCOs and farmer groups.

What we do

Three pillars of our work

Most of what IHP does falls under health insurance, keeping mothers safe, and teaching communities how to stay well.

Community health insurance

Families contribute ahead of time and draw from a shared pool when they need treatment. Simple, local, built for people with irregular income.

Safe motherhood

Pregnancy should not bankrupt a household. We run Mama Kit drives, antenatal talks, and the Community Health Run to raise support for mothers.

Health education

Talks in villages and schools on malaria, hygiene, nutrition, HIV and when to seek care early — before a small illness becomes expensive.
