Charity Supporting Uganda | Suubi Medical Clinic | The Clinic -Suubi Medical Clinic

About us

Suubi Medical Clinic is a non-profit, non-sectarian charity project in the Iganga district of Uganda, dedicated to bringing developmental services to the poor villages of Uganda. Suubi's goals include education and provision of medical care. Through Suubi Clinic we will utilise technology, skills and energy to achieve these goals, while respecting local culture and the existing resources in place.

The Clinic

Suubi clinic is being built from local materials made and provided by people in the village.

We are looking for help from anyone who feels able to contribute, whether by a donation, fundraising or volunteering in any way. We also need material help. If you have access to used or obsolete medical equipment (which is in working order but does NOT need power to operate) we would be happy to take it to Uganda for use in the clinic.

We will also need medicines and other supplies but our immediate need is for the money to complete the building.

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.
