Mityana, Uganda – In a landmark initiative to boost healthcare delivery, the Buganda Kingdom has officially launched the Kabaka Muteesa II Health Centre IV in Busimbi, Mityana District, as part of the Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II’s 70th birthday celebrations.
While officiating the launch, Charles Peter Mayiga, the Katikkiro (Prime Minister) of Buganda, called for unity and cooperation in the health sector, urging citizens to avoid politicizing healthcare.
“Healthcare is a shared responsibility. Let us work together to improve services for our people,” Mayiga emphasized, pointing to the importance of joint efforts between the Kingdom and the Central Government.
The newly upgraded facility is designed to provide accessible and affordable healthcare to the people of Ssingo County and neighboring communities.
It stands as a testament to the Kabaka’s long-term vision of uplifting his people through improved health infrastructure.
The health centre was officially opened by Nalinnya Sarah Kagere, the Kabaka’s Special Representative, who urged medical personnel to uphold ethical standards and compassionate service delivery.
Dr. Jackson Ssekikubo, Mityana Municipal Health Officer, hailed the initiative, noting that it will significantly decongest Mityana Main Hospital.
