This review scrutinizes the intricate interplay between social-economic determinants of health (SDH) and the ensuing health disparities in Uganda, offering a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted factors shaping health outcomes across diverse demographic strata. By synthesizing a comprehensive array of empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and policy analyses, this review illuminates the complex dynamics underpinning health disparities within the Ugandan context. Through a multidimensional lens, it explores the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and power structures that fuel disparities in health access and outcomes. Moreover, it delves into the implications of these disparities for public health policy and practice, advocating for targeted interventions aimed at addressing socio-economic determinants to foster health equity in Uganda.
