Home

War, Starvation and disease are a harsh reality for many in the impoverished areas of Uganda. Children in rural areas of Uganda are the most vulnerable — where 1 in 4 will die before the age of ten. The average life span in Uganda is 48 years.

Can you imagine holding a dying baby in your arms or watch a mother crying because she cannot look after her children?
Can you imagine walking 10 miles to Hospital whenever you needed treatment?
Can you imagine being in labour and having to have your baby in the field, on the roadside, or in a market?
Can you imagine growing up in a place where there are no toys, no footballs, no sweets and treats?
Can you imagine growing up in a place where you lack
the most basic things in life:
food, clean water, safety, and a bed of your own?
Can you imagine having to work in the field daily to grow your own food and walk 5 miles to school everyday?
Have you ever seen small children playing, knowing that their parents died and left them with AIDS virus?
Do you ever think that the world is not fair and we need to do something’?

That world and that place do exist and it is where Suubi Medical Clinic is endeavouring to make a difference.

Who We Help

Before Suubi was set up in Busu, the population suffered many major health problems that were compounded by the lack of basic medical care. Suubi Medical Clinic is making a difference. The major issues include:

-Rampant nutritional deficiency, leading to other health problems, such as developing cataracts due to vitamin A deficiency.

-An effective program for children did not exist.

-A high mortality rate of women during childbirth, due to lack of adequate obstetric services.

-Tuberculosis is prevalent in the area, but before Suubi Clinic was founded, there was no treatment available.

-Neither an adequate medical facility nor doctors were available for the treatment of common diseases as well as serious diseases. Common diseases include: fever, malaria, tuberculosis, joint pain, gastroenteritis, worms, respiratory disease, infections and obstetrics.

We have a long way to go

This Month’s Project

We are looking for resources to give the clinic a new life. We need basic cosmetic work with painting and general structure improvements in preparation for a possible immunisation program in the net few months.
