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.
