In Buliisa—

The construction of Butiaba Health Centre III in Butiaba sub county Buliisa district Bunyoro sub region is expected to kick off this month, according to Dr. Robert Mugabe the District Health Educator {DHE} Buliisa.

In a special interview with our reporter, Dr. Mugabe revealed that the office of prime minister assessed the health facility, and directed the construction of new structures for the facility to kick off.

“After assessing the facility, Rt. Hon. Robinah Nabbanja the prime minister of Uganda directed the district to get land where the new structures of Butiaba health facility can be put,’’ he told our reporter.

Butiaba health centre was among the government institutions which were affected by increasing Lake Albert waters in Buliisa district. After being submerged, it was later shifted to Butiaba primary school and it didn’t yield any fruit.

Dr. Mugabe explains that currently they are operating at Butiaba sub county headquarters as they wait for the construction of structures at the new site.

The health specialist told our reporter that the district proposed Kawaibanda village in Butiaba Sub County as the new site where structures for Butiaba health centre are going to be put in place.

The expert also asserted that the land was assessed by the contractors and they are waiting for the report.

“The land was assessed last year, and construction was supposed to commence this month, however we are waiting for the report and hopefully the construction will kick off,’’ Dr. Mugabe told our reporter.

Last year in December, ministry of health handed over permanent sleeper tents to Butiaba Health Centre III.  Each tent accommodates 25 patients. Other items handed over included 25 beds, 25 mattresses, and 25 bed sheets.
