Nyakatare Health Centre is situated in Kanungu Town.
It is supported by the Diocese of Kinkiizi .
It provides general medical services, maternity care, as well as dental and laboratory services.
Over the years we have received support from Medical Missionary News, enabling the setting up of a dental unit and improved laboratory services. (link to article).
We’ve provided new patient latrines and washing facilities, a new generator, and an air compressor for the dental unit. We also pay the dental assistant’s salary, provide toothbrushes and toothpaste when we can and have contributed towards a new incinerator.
More recently we have focussed on better supporting the community outreaches, where the health services are taken out to outlying and far flung villages. By doing this more people are receiving ante-natal care, immunisation, dental health education and check-ups, family planning advice, and HIV testing and counselling.
At £30 an outreach it is a very inexpensive way of improving the health and welfare of many people who wouldn’t otherwise receive it.
