On Saturday December, 2, 2017, all roads led to Buloba Kitaawuluzi Health centre II. Young and old people from Buloba and the surrounding villages of Bulenga, Bbira, Temangalo among others, braved the morning and afternoon sun to go to the health centre to receive free treatment courtesy of the Rotary Club of Buloba.

A total number of 500 People received treatment offered by professional doctors and health workers who some of whom were Rotarians. They offered services to young and old with a smile that brought about hope in the lives of the ailing people. The people were treated from diseases that included Malaria, coughs, dental, optical and other diseases. We also offered services that included blood donation, de-worming, immunization and polio vaccination among others.

On elderly lady could not hide her joy after she was given treatment of an irritating cough that she was suffering from for the past three weeks. In Luganda she prayed for rotarians and doctors to live forever. “Mukama yekka gwe mbasabira muwangaale. Mutuzadde ogw’okubiri” loosely translated as “May the Lord bless you and you live longer. You have given birth to us for a second time” she said as tears of joy flowed from her ageing eyes.
