Nyakatare Health Centre
​
Situated in Kanungu town, Nyakatare Health Centre is supported by the diocese of Kinkiizi. It provides general medical services, maternity care, immunisations, and community health education and outreaches.
Over the years we have supported the health centre in many different ways. Most recently providing a new microscope, a baby incubator and solar panel, an operating table, a secure perimeter fence, 2 patient monitors, fixing the generator and enabling regular health outreaches to local schools and distant communities. We’ve also set up a Samaritan fund to help mothers who cannot afford the full cost of emergency caesarean sections. This has
already saved lives of both mothers and babies.
Donated baby clothes, and toothbrushes and toothpaste, have been shared with the health centre when trustees have visited. These are always much appreciated.
The health outreaches are a very important and inexpensive way of improving the health and welfare of many people who wouldn’t otherwise receive it. At an average cost of £40 this is very good value!
