Kabaka Foundation's "Tubeera Balamu" Health Initiative Concludes Successful Two-Day Camp in Kyaggwe
MUKONO - The Kabaka Foundation's flagship health program "Tubeera Balamu" has wrapped up a two-day medical camp at Ssekiboobo Grounds in Ggulu, Mukono, drawing large crowds from Kyaggwe County and surrounding areas.
The health initiative, conducted under the auspices of Ssekibobo Vincent Matovu, focused particularly on addressing the rising cases of mental health disorders among youth in Kyaggwe County. Deputy Ssekibobo Fred Katende expressed gratitude to participants while emphasising the need for increased government support in healthcare services.
"While we're thankful for this intervention, we must appeal to central government to bolster healthcare services as the community's needs remain overwhelming," Katende stated during the closing ceremony.
Eddie Kaggwa Ndagala, Executive Director of Kabaka Foundation, outlined the program's comprehensive approach: "Our planning accounted for various health challenges across different regions we serve, though political considerations sometimes affect our scheduling." The foundation reported treating numerous conditions, with a special focus on youth-related health issues.
Dr. Jack Ssali, lead physician at the camp, noted: "We've identified multiple health concerns in the population, particularly worrying trends in adolescent health, though we've made significant interventions."
Local leaders, including Hon. Sserubula Stephen and Kaweesa Ronald, praised the initiative's impact on community health infrastructure. They pledged continued health education, especially regarding blood donation, which saw strong community participation.
Elderly patients who benefited from the services expressed profound gratitude, with many attributing their improved health to divine intervention through the program's work. The camp's success has sparked calls for more frequent interventions to address the region's healthcare gaps.
