Medical Aid Films is delighted to launch eight new films in Luganda for use by community health workers in Uganda.  The films can be used to build awareness around nutrition, warning signs in pregnancy, newborn care and other essential topics in maternal and child health.

We were delighted to work in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, who run health worker training and community education projects in Uganda.  With their support and the help of local voice artists, we translated and dubbed eight films into the local language, Luganda, to reach many people throughout the community.  They are now available to watch and download for free from our website ­ just follow the links below.
