Kyadondo Rotary Club Donates UGX 7 million Clinical Equipment to RHU

Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) Katego clinic has received new clinical equipment worth UGX 7 million, thanks to Kyadondo Rotary Club Kampala. The equipment includes recovery beds, cubicle curtains, window curtains, metallic cupboards, drip stands, mattresses, blankets, bedsheets, and a 32-inch LED television monitor. Other pieces of equipment for the Ultrasound scanning room include curtains, linen cupboards, and curtain rods.

Speaking at the handover of the equipment, Peter Sewagudde, the President of the Kyadondo Rotary Club noted that the decision to donate was arrived at after identifying a role played by RHU in offering integrated sexual reproductive health and rights services (SRHR) indiscriminately to the underserved and vulnerable people in Uganda.

“We celebrate SRHR and family planning service providers like RHU and this is the initial stage of a partnership that will last forever,” Sewagudde said.

A team of Rotarians from Kyadondo conducted a Medical Mission at RHU Katego clinic early October 23, 2021, with a mission of giving a facelift.

Sewagudde, explains that it is upon this background that their team identified the challenges at the Katego RHU clinic facility and considered offering the required equipment.

Doctor Peter Ibembe, the RHU Director of Programs confirms that their RHU Katego clinic needs a facelift from donors and volunteers, especially in the areas of specialized equipment. He welcomed the donation, saying it will improve RHU’s efficiency and quality of SRHR and family planning service delivered.

RHU offers integrated SRHR, family planning, sexual and gender-based violence cervical cancer screening and vaccination, COVID – 19 RDT, fertility tests, HIV, STI, and counseling services among others in its 20 clinics located across the country.
