Abstract: The study investigated the relationship between supervision and local government health service delivery in Uganda, Bushenyi Ishaka municipality, Bushenyi district. The objectives of the study were to find out whether there is a relationship between supervision and health service delivery, determine the level of supervision and evaluate the quality of health service delivery. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted on a sample of 85 respondents. Quantitatively data was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics, frequencies and percentage tables and qualitatively, by thematic content analysis. Univariate findings of the study revealed that local government health service delivery was fair and multivariate results showed that supervision in terms of salary/wage scale increment had a positive significant influence on local government health service delivery, drug, sundries and safety equipments did not. In addition of enough drugs, flexible work time had a positive influence on local government health service delivery, sundries and safety measures did not. Therefore, it was concluded that revised salaries/wage scales and allowances were the most elements required for the supervisors in order to enhance the provision of local government health service delivery. The study recommended that the government should strengthen the level of oversight of health services, Ministry of health should design a tracking system to all Supervisors and health professionals and the Ugandan government must review the pay incentives and scales offered to health professionals and hire capable managers in order to prevent their prolonged absences in search of new sources of money.
