Sheema community members in fundraising drive to buy Kitagata Hospital operating table

In a bid to rescue Kitagata Hospital with operating table, people of Sheema Community organised themselves with well-wishers under Sheema Development Association (SDA) mobilized pledges and cash of UGX 18m in 24 hours.

Sheema North MP Hon. Naome Kibaaju and Sheema District Woman MP Hon. Jacklet Atuhaire Rwabukurukuru joined the drive each contributing UGX 1m along with other prominent people from Sheema. The drive is spearheaded by Sheema Development Association (SDA) under chairmanship of Mr. Johnson Musinguzi Byarabaha.

The people of Sheema have called on government to upgrade the status of Kitagata Hospital from being a district hospital to a regional hospital as it serves districts of Sheema, Bushenyi, Ntungamo, Mitooma, Bunyaruguru, Rukungiri among others.

They argue that funding via the district isn’t adequate forexample the hospital receives more women from Mitooma and Ntungamo delivering from there than those from Sheema.

It is therefore unfair to fund the hospital at the district level yet it serves the sub region.
