Kasangati Greater Lions Club Donates Medical Equipment, Pledges Theatre Renovation Support to Kasangati Health Centre IV

Kasangati Health Centre IV, a key government facility in Uganda's Wakiso District, is facing significant strain due to a rapidly increasing patient load. The center serves hundreds daily from Kasangati Town Council, surrounding Wakiso areas, and even neighboring Luwero District, placing immense pressure on its limited resources and infrastructure.

We are very grateful for this donation because some of this equipment was not available at the facility. It is going to greatly support us in serving our patients, especially at a time when the number of people seeking healthcare services continues to increase

In response to these challenges, the Kasangati Greater Lions Club has stepped in, donating medical equipment valued at millions of shillings. The club also committed to supporting the renovation of the facility's operating theatre, a critical component for emergency and maternal care. Dr. Roselyn Akugizibwe highlighted the immediate impact of the donation, noting that some of the provided equipment was previously unavailable and will greatly enhance patient care amidst rising demand.

The donated items include two hospital beds, a Caesarean section surgical set, and sterilization drums, all crucial for strengthening healthcare services. Adrine Kirabo Kamuhanda, representing the club, reaffirmed their dedication to renovating the operating theatre, a project estimated to cost over Shs60 million. Kamuhanda also appealed for additional partners to join their charitable efforts, emphasizing the need for continued community support.

I greatly appreciate RAK Engineering Company for being instrumental in enabling us to undertake some of these charitable projects. We also call upon other partners who wish to join us because we need to continue making a positive impact in our communities

Club Board Member Edgar Kasigwa pointed out that health is a primary focus for Lions Clubs International, and these projects directly contribute to improving the lives of Ugandans. Following the donation, Adrine Kirabo Kamuhanda officially assumed the presidency of the Kasangati Greater Lions Club, succeeding Patrick Muganga. The club, recognized as one of the district's most active service organizations, continues its mission through impactful projects.

One of the core focus areas of Lions Clubs International is health. The projects that the Club is undertaking are not only about giving back to the community but also about touching the hearts and improving the lives of Ugandans
