Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>While Luweero District has different health care facilities ranging from health centre IIs, IIIs, IVs and the recently upgraded Luweero Hospital that offer services, the commissioning of a special children health care facility at Nsawo Village in Katikamu Sub County is a big boost to the health service delivery in the area.<\/p>\n

The Pediatric Clinic at Nsawo Health Centre III is a brain child of the United States-based Rotarians Mossa and Molok Tolour , and will help boost health service care for the child related ailments and also offer maternal and antenatal health services to the mothers from 15 villages in Katikamu Sub County.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are welcoming a health care facility that will give special attention to the children and the mothers. The sponsors of the pediatric clinic have constructed and equipped the facility to ensure better health care service for the children. We are directly linked to the district health office to offer guidance and monitor the service delivery system,\u201d Mr Sam Kulubya, the patron of Nsawo Village Rotary Community Corps, said during the launch at the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also applaud the support offered by the Rotary Club of Muyenga through which the US-based Rotarians were able to identify the health needs of the people in Luweero District,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nsawo Health Centre III receives an average of 45 children per day with different ailments, but the biggest challenge has always been lack of a special department to boost health care service for the children.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had to make referrals for the different child -related ailments due to lack of space for admission and treatment of the children ,but the construction of a special ward and a fully equipped department is a big boost to the health care delivery system,\u201d Mr Henry Iga, the officer in charge of the facility said in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been experiencing a recurrence of infections among children including cough. The children can only be handled better at facilities that give special attention to the child- related health complications. We are already in touch with the district health office that monitors and guides management.\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Mr Ronald Ssemakula, the chairperson Nsawo Village reveals that while the health facility is located in his area, villages that include Kibisi, Kikoma, Kayindu, Kalule, Nganjo, Busula, Nkondo, Gembe and Busula benefit from the services at Nsawo Health Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the government to lend a hand so that we sustain the services at the newly commissioned health centre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Innocent Nkonwa, the Luweero District health officer said the district is currently experiencing a high incidence of respiratory tract infections among children which they get from schools that have failed to heed to the precautionary measures issued by the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pediatric clinic is an essential component in the health care delivery system. We thank the donor friends that are contributing to the welfare of the people in Luweero. It is also true that since January 2022, we have been registering high incidences of the respiratory tract infections among the children. This explains why child admissions are high at the different health facilities in the district,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At Luweero Hospital, the facility registered a total of 2,370 children presenting cough among other respiratory related infections for the month of February 2022 while only 993 children presenting the same health complications were registered for the month of January 2022.<\/p>\n
