It explores the legal and non-legal aspects governing role of NGO’s in realization of the right to health. It is a combination of library data collection analysis and doctrinal research it identifies the challenges that affect NGO’s in the realization of the right to health, the comparative models between South Africa and India in the way they handle the right to health and how Uganda as a country can adopt some of the methods and ways they use in making the right to health a fundamental human right for its population.
