Sanyuka TV, a leading Ugandan television station dedicated to providing content for the everyday Ugandan, has announced a partnership with Healingway Group of Hospitals for a two-day medical camp on November 20th and 21st, 2024. This camp, to be held at the Healingway Diagnostic and Fertility Center at Rashida Towers in Kololo, is designed to offer free medical services, consultations, and select diagnostic tests to the community. The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day.
Access to healthcare remains a significant challenge in Uganda, where health infrastructure and resources are often stretched thin. According to a recent report by the World Bank, Uganda has only 0.5 physicians per 1,000 people, far below the global average, highlighting a critical shortage of healthcare professionals. Additionally, over 70% of Ugandans live in rural areas where health services are even more limited, and many have to travel long distances to access basic healthcare services. Another report from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics indicates that nearly 40% of Ugandans are unable to afford health services when needed, underscoring the financial barriers to accessing care.
