New Clinic to Bring Healthcare to Rural Areas
FOLII proposes to construct a health clinic in the Bunyoro region. People in this region suffer from curable diseases, such as anthrax, polio, cholera, and malaria, and for specialized care one must travel over 30 miles. By building a clinic, FOLII hopes to reduce the number of deaths resulting from treatable illnesses, providing high quality affordable outpatient services, maternity, and general care.
The Story
People in the Bunyoro region continue to suffer from curable diseases such as anthrax, polio, cholera, malaria, and river blindness. Healthcare facilitates are scarce and the few functioning ones often face a shortage of staff and medications. Government healthcare facilities often lack skilled workers, medications, and equipment for simple tests, and those needing specialized care must travel to the Government Hospital, 30 miles away from the village.


FOLII is working to change this. With creating partnerships and reaching out to well-wishers in raising funds, we plan to construct a health clinic in Bujwahya village that will serve rural communities around. This health center will provide affordable, quality, and reliable outpatient services, maternity care, and general care. The clinic hopes to reduce the number of deaths resulting from treatable illnesses, giving people the chance to be more economically productive and improve the quality of their lives.
“I have been in this community for a long time as a village health attendant. I have seen many of our children grow up with many problems from lack of clean drinking water, long distances to school, and a lack of medical treatment. Health-related matters have been very difficult before. Patients would walk long distances and could not even be attended to well. Many people have died from preventable diseases and some with treatable diseases, like malaria. But since FOLII started working in the community, many things are being brought closer to the people. . . . But what is lacking is a good health facility. If FOLII now starts this, services will all now be brought closer. Bravo to FOLII for this initiative.”
