Uganda practices what is called legal pluralism. Where more than one type of law is practiced in her jurisdiction. The customary laws, statutes, common laws (case laws, legal precedents). Despite all these laws. Maternal health is insufficiently covered by the law.

As it lacks sensitivity on the heterogeneity of men and women in social aspects.
