Dr. Kabwishwa made the remarks last week on Friday as the hospital received 20 mattresses from Euro Form.

Handing over the 20 mattresses the Marketing Manager Eurofoam Clare Kemigisha said that due to a huge number of patients the facility admits daily they decided to give a helping to the hospital.

The hospital located in Kitagata Town council was constructed in 1970 and it has a capacity of 100 beds  thus serves districts of Buhweju ,Rubirizi , Bushenyi,Mitooma,Sheema and parts of Rwampara and Ntungamo districts.
