Non Communicable Diseases
Our commitment to combating the Non-communicable diseases is unwavering.
TASO extends its commitment beyond infectious diseases to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a crucial component of our comprehensive care approach. The impact of NCDs on persons living with HIV is a growing concern.
Established by a group of dedicated medical workers who witnessed the dire conditions of HIV/AIDS patients, TASO has evolved into a leading institution in Uganda’s HIV response.
