Hospitals, Medical & Diagnostic Centers
A) MEDICAL OUTREACH, UGANDA
Outreach To Africa received a container full of medical equipment worth 1 million dollars donated by hospitals in the UK through Tavistock Community Church, Devon, UK and cash donations from friends in the USA. Outreach to Africa has established one Medical Center and are in the process of opening a Diagnostic Center in Fort Portal. There is also a 4 wheel drive ambulance waiting to be shipped from UK to Uganda for use at our medical centers.
B) OTA MEDICAL CENTER, RWEBISENGO VILLAGE - Western Uganda Bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwebisengo has a population of about 30,000. There are large numbers of refugees, who ran away from Congo due to the ethnic warfare, living in this village as well.
HIV/AIDS is also a major challenge here and there is no major help right now.
The nearest hospitals are in Fort Portal town - 45 miles away. It is a 3-hour drive on a dry day and several when it rains due to bad roads.
Outreach to Africa has rented a 19-bedroom motel and turned it into a medical center equipped with a laboratory, pharmacy, maternity and private rooms for general patients.
We treat approximately 5,000 patients and deliver 300 babies a year. We have employed 1 doctor, 1 Medical Assistant, 1 Midwife, 1 Nurse/Dispenser, I Receptionist, 1 Custodian, 1 Security Officer, 1 Laboratory Technician and a resident Chaplain.
C) OTA MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC CENTER, FORT PORTAL
We have opened another clinic in Fort Portal. Services include: X-ray, ultrasound, pharmacy, laboratory and medical consultation.
