Oyam South Constituency is set to benefit from a brand-new Type B ambulance, secured through the lobbying efforts of Mr. Patrick Ogwang Obura.

In a letter dated March 12, 2026, addressed to Hon. Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero, Minister of Health, Mr. Ogwang Obura congratulated her on her resounding election victory as Woman Member of Parliament for Lira City (2026–2031). He expressed gratitude for her solid delivery in the health sector, noting that Oyam District has been a major beneficiary of her leadership at the Ministry of Health.

Speaking to our reporter by phone this evening, Mr. Ogwang Obura confirmed that the ambulance was successfully lobbied after recognizing the urgent need in Oyam South, which had been operating without one. He emphasized that the arrival of this vehicle will greatly improve health services, particularly in the safe transfer of patients to referral hospitals.

Mr. Ogwang urged the people of Oyam South to prepare for the official handover of the ambulance, scheduled to take place tomorrow in Oyam District, before it is allocated to a government facility within Oyam South.

Carolina Ayiko, an expectant mother from Aceno Bung in Minakulu Town Council, told our reporter that after hearing this development, she began praying to God to bless her with a baby boy whom she intends to name Ogwang Peko Alango, in honor of Mr. Ogwang’s contribution. She described him as a true leader sent by God to Oyam South after years of suffering under the current regime.

Milton Ojok Obia from Acwara Tera village in Myene Sub-county also praised Mr. Ogwang Obura, noting that his efforts began even before he was elected to Parliament. He said that if all leaders behaved like him, local communities would begin to witness true development.

The ambulance will be stationed in Oyam South to serve the constituency, marking a significant step forward in healthcare delivery for the region.
