The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for East African Affairs, who is also the Woman Member of Parliament for Kamuli District, Rt Hon Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, brought smiles to patients across various health centres in Kamuli District by distributing essential items to each of them.

According to Owek Hellen Namutamba, Minister for Tourism and Heritage in the Busoga Kingdom, who was sent by Rt Hon Kadaga to distribute food and other essentials, the initiative aimed to bring joy to those who cannot afford basic necessities as they begin the New Year. The items distributed included posho, rice, soap, and lunch.

Kadaga observed that many individuals struggle to afford even a single meal while in hospital. During the visit, she encouraged them to support the NRM government and to vote for President Yoweri K. Museveni and all party flag bearers in the upcoming elections.

The Acting District Health Officer, Dr Lyagoba Moses, urged the community to always seek medical attention at hospitals, noting that health workers are ready to provide services, which in turn helps improve life expectancy in the community.

He commended the government and political actors for their support of Uganda’s health system.

The health centres that received the donations include Kamuli Main Hospital, Busoga Health Centre III, Mbulamuti Health Centre III, and Kamuli Mission Hospital, with over 800 patients benefiting from the essential items.
