Kotido district has two government hospitals of Abim and Kabong. The health delivery system is, however, supported by other health centres with different classifications. These are seven Health Centre IIIs, 39 Health Centre IIs, and 11 licensed drug shops.

The total number of health units in the district is 48. Of these only five health units have trained personnel in Reproductive Health services. 44 percent of the health requirements staffing is filled and only 66 percent of Health centre ll's have staff accommodation. HIV/Aids counseling and testing facilities are non existent.

Kotido lacks a major referral hospital. Patients are taken to far away Kabong and Abim
Hospitals located 100 kilometers from the district centre. Some patients with serious illnesses are taken to Lira hospital in Lira district. The Health Centre III's are however spread all over the district with the capacity to handle simple diseases.

Most of the Health units are manned by untrained personnel but the District Leadership is working hard to provide a good working environment to attract and retain motivated health workers. Cattle rustling and road ambushes have also discouraged some health workers from working in Kotido.

There are continuous outreaches down to parish level on vaccination and immunization against BCG, Tetanus, Measles, DPT and HIV/Aids counseling.
