Lets support Kitala Health Centre II (KHC II)

Kitala Health Centre II (KHC II) is local community-owned facility located in Kitala Parish along Entebbe. It is the only free of charge clinical facility serving Katabi Sub-county with a total population of 104,335 (55,389 female). Each day, at least 20 expectant women visit the center for antenatal care. Apart from these at least 34 community members visit the facility for treatment of other ailments.   

At the level of a Health Center II, the facility is only mandated to provide basic health care and antenatal services to women. However, when in labor, women stealthily approach the midwife at the center to help them deliver their babies! This is appallingly done in a very basic and unsafe way – on the floor, or on the in-charge’s office desk, with not even the basic facilitation to the staff for the job. It’s no surprise that many women choose to have labor in their homes or in other poor standard facilities, resulting into several post-maternal complications on them and the children, notwithstanding death in some cases.

Together with the community of Katabi Sub-county (both social and corporate), the members of Watoto church in this community and other well-wishers like you are running a campaign to build a maternity facility at the health centre. This will give our expectant ladies a safe affordable facility for antenatal care and most importantly a safe place for them to be helped deliver our children.

This campaign is largely purposed to address the need for a maternity ward at the health centre to address these concerns.

Your generous contribution will majorly guarantee the 3 things:

I)       upgrading the center to a Health Centre III status, thus improved central government facilitation and funding raising

II)      raising the center’s mandate to handle ladies in labor thus ensuring safe labor, healthy babies and mothers, and also

III)     more clinical staffing to the center (from the current 2) because of the upgrade to Health Centre III

You can be part of this noble cause by generously giving a financial contribution or donation of building materials which we can pick arrange to pick from you.
