Generally, the dissertation had five chapters with several sub-sections under each chapter.

Data was collected by use of questionnaires. A case study research design was used to select the respondents from Lwemiyaga, and the Ssembabule district at large. The findings from the research were in position to show the relationship between primary health care and the health status of people in selected areas of Lwemiyaga Sub County Ssembabule district. From the study findings, female represented more than male with a percentage of 62.5% in comparison to male who had only
37.5%. Still from the findings most of the respondents could easily read and write since a bigger percentage had at least completed secondary with 22.5% which made data collection in terms of questionnaires easy and simple. Hence to a greater extent most of the respondents agreed that they get access to healthcare services though challenged by poor infrastructures. Hence from the study findings it is recommended that the Ugandan government should join hands and work with people and as well work with local people at the grass root to deliver health services.
