Medical Centre Management and Personnel

There is an established administrative structure at the Medical Centre. The Centre in the past has been run by four medical staff but due to financial difficulty we are down to two medical staff. The SMC employs two nursing officers and two support staff (a Cleaner and a watchman). In the future, the centre anticipates recruitment of an administrator/pharmacist, 1 clinical officer, a laboratory technician and two visiting senior Medical Doctors (a general Doctor/Clinician and a Dentist).

The Medical Centre management team is chaired by Denis Kigongo Victor and supported by five persons – a carefully selected mix of professionals and leaders in Busu village:

Denis Kigongo Victor – Chairman and founder
Florence Mirembe – Treasurer
Barbara Kimera – Management Team Secretary
Kiiza Victor – Committee member – (a resident of the village)
Budalah Wamala – Busu Village Council leader
Amina Kopa – Busu Village Council – women representative

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.
