Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The three health facilities being constructed by Buganda are taking shape, bringing hope of improved health services in the kingdom.<\/p>\n

Under this project, Buganda Kingdom plans to set up at least one hospital at the level of health centre IV in each of the 18 counties but implementation started with three projects in the sub counties of Ssingo(Mityana), Kyaggwe (Buikwe ) and Buddu(Masaka). All the three health facilities are named after Muteesa II, the kingdom\u2019s 35th king.<\/p>\n

Construction of Muteesa II Health Centre IV at Mukungwe Sub- County in Buddu County(Masaka City) which had delayed taking off due to various factors is now on course.<\/p>\n

Buganda\u2019s local government minister Joseph Kawuuki told this publication that \u201cdespite delays, all projects will be completed as planned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all witnesses to Kabaka\u2019s efforts towards enhancing health standards through the annual Kabaka birthday run among other initiatives. So, these new hospitals aim at extending services closer to Kabaka\u2019s subjects,\u201d he said in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Construction of the first three health centres is expected to last three years.<\/p>\n

A health centre IV is a mini hospital and serves a county or a parliamentary constituency. It is supposed to have a senior medical officer and another doctor as well as a theatre for carrying out emergency operations .The facility usually has wards for men, women and children- and should be able to admit patients.<\/p>\n

Kawuuki asked local leaders and Kabaka\u2019s subjects in the first three beneficiary counties to accord all necessary support to the contractors on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe detest shoddy work as a kingdom,\u201d Kawuuki warned.<\/p>\n

Josephine Nantege, a principal private secretary attached to the Office of Buganda Premier Charles Peter Mayiga attributed the delay of the Masaka project to the sluggish process of procuring a contractor although Alfero Construction Agency was was contracted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true there was a delay in identifying a competent contractor for the Masaka project unlike in Mityana and Buikwe, but work has since commenced and moving on smoothly,\u201d said Nantege who is also one of the project supervisors.<\/p>\n

Each of the three health facilities is estimated to cost Shs2.5billion.<\/p>\n
