Who Are We?
Established in 1994, NTIHC is a pioneer adolescent health program in Uganda to provide Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) services and information, primarily targeting young people aged 10-24 years. NTIHC is legally registered with the NGO board as a Non-Government organization. The program was founded at Naguru HCIV under Kampala City Council (KCC) as an adolescent clinic by a Swedish and Ugandan gynaecologist with funding from UNICEF including a group of Ugandan volunteers comprised of midwives and social workers. Over the years, NTIHC has grown and transformed from being an adolescent health clinic through being a community-based organization to become a fully registered Non-Government Organization (NGO). NTIHC has worked in the field of adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (ASRHR) for over 25 years, implementing youth youth-friendly responsive model of ASRHR services. Through this model, NTIHC has been able to influence policy, advocacy and health programming for young people in Uganda. NTIHC is currently located at Kiswa Health Center III, where it provides a range of sexual and reproductive health services to young people.
