Health Centre Medical Equipment - Mbale, Uganda

At their meeting in January 2015 a grant of €7,300 was approved by the Management Committee for a project involving the purchase of much needed medical equipment for the Health Centre.

The various equipments have since been acquired and installed, enabling the Centre to achieve better patient outcomes and satisfy and meet the needs of the community in which it operates. It has helped to fill gaps identified that were impeding progress of the Centre and which resulted in the provision of inadequate delivery of medical services both curative and preventative.

As a result of the grant provided by the Fund, the Centre is now able to treat fifty patients both day and night and conduct outreach services at village level. The previous catastrophic health situation prevailing in Kamutur Village and surrounds is rapidly changing due to the interventions of the Centre coupled with community health education. A healthy community of women and children is emerging with more babies seeing their first birthday and eventually continuing to grow.
