Kampala, Uganda: Speaking during a campaign rally in Apac District on Friday, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni pledged a comprehensive health sector boost for the region, detailing specific upgrades and facilities set for delivery during his government’s next term.
While noting that the NRM administration has already ensured functioning health centers in 10 out of the district’s 12 sub-counties, Museveni announced a targeted health package aimed at bridging the remaining service gaps.
This package includes upgrading Akere Health Centre II to a Health Centre III, constructing a brand new Health Centre III in Atik, and elevating Atongtidi Health Centre III in Maruzi North to a Health Centre IV.
Additionally, the existing Health Centre IV in Maruzi Constituency will be equipped with an essential ambulance to bolster emergency services.
The President emphasized that these ambitious infrastructure plans would be fully funded by the oil revenues expected to begin flowing next year, ensuring that resources for health improvements would not necessitate cuts from other vital projects, and urged the electorate to re-elect the NRM to consolidate this progress.
