Medical Staff from UCU Visit
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation before the Almighty for making that site meeting to happen. It opened up people’s hearts and commitment towards God’s great commission to serve his people in this part of the world and the Diocese in general as intended. On behalf of our organization and the young men and women of Namukozi Integrated Youth Development Group apprentices, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the participants and supporters in various ways that made this happen.
In his remarks, the Bishop’s representative and the new head leader of the Diocese Health concerns the Rev. Benon Tebasoboke made an assurance that they are in control of every pre-planning procedure to make sure everything comes to life to fulfill the intended vision and goals of the facility to usher in God’s glory. He further assured the meeting that they will be registering with Uganda Protestant Medical Bureau and constitute the governing board for the facility.
In his remarks after having toured the site and familiarized himself with what is on the ground, the Dean of Health Department UCU Dr. Gerald Tumusiime, appreciated the work being done for the community and the country towards providing quality health services that are accessible in rural areas like this one. He said, “ We are privileged to be part of this Project.”
In her remarks, lady UCU Lecturer in the Faculty of Public Health, Nursing, and Midwifery Elizabeth Namukombe, said, “ It was such a great time meeting you and your team of apprentices and tapping into the vision you have for the Myanzi community and the Diocese at large.”
Present was the IT technician Mr.Graham Turinawe , who promised to work with us as far as putting the necessary infrastructure in place for the facility. In his remarks, he said, “Thank you for your exceptional dedication and generosity towards the project. This will have a significant impact on individuals who will benefit from the services. May your kindness and generosity of supporters continue to inspire others.”
Present also was the UCU laboratory technician Mr. Mark Obin, together with the rest of the team suggested relocating the X-Ray service to the extremely isolated corner of the building for the safety concerns of the public.
In general, the room signage will be redone at a later stage having gotten the data and prevailing health needs of communities, which will largely involve preventive health education and counseling. The operation area will be an enclosed shell for now which can be divided and arranged to fit the needs, with flexible use of medical curtain partitions.
It was also pointed out to the Diocese to consider providing dwelling rooms for resident service providers.
In closing, thank you once again for your obedience to God’s call for his people.
Sincerely,
Patrick Lutalo
Founder Teach Men to Fish organization.
