	D-1101    Uganda - Iganga Hospital Equipment & Furniture $35,000 Namalemba Sub-county (and environs), covering the villages: Namalemba, Minani, Idinda, Nawamgisa, and Namunyumya is located in Iganga District on the Jinja Mbale Highway, Eastern Uganda. It has a total population of about 26,000, 52% of whom are women. It is a rural community, surviving mainly through subsistence agriculture. The area faces several major challenges, among which the Rotary Club of Kampala North, working with the St Andrew's Church Development Committee, has identified health care and rain-water harvesting as priorities. This specific project has the objective of providing primary health care as well as curative and maternity services for 26,000 people through furnishing and equipping a hospital building (constructed but not yet in use due to lack of equipment and furniture). The community of Namalemba Parish started on the construction of the health unit about fifteen years ago. This unit, with limited facilities and two nurses, has for the last ten years addressed the health, curative, and maternity needs of this community who would otherwise have to travel at least 16 km to the nearest hospital in Iganga or Nsinze. Even then, the majority find the public transport costs prohibitive, and would have to take a 2 - 3hr bicycle journey. Two years ago, the community embarked on the construction of a three ward in-patient unit, supported by a Rotarian couple that originates from the area. This building, with an internal floor area of 220 square metres (plan attached) is now complete but requires the complete range of equipment and furnishing for a level 4 health unit. Since some of the mediacl equipment has to be imported, completion fo the project, from time of release of funds, will be 8 months. All other elements will be completed within 6 months Primary Host Partner in the Project Country Club: Kampala North District: 9200 Primary Contact: Steven Munabi Email: smunabi@gmail.com Check all projects from: [District 9200] [Kampala North Rotary Club] [Steven Munabi] Primary International Partner Outside the Project Country Club: Blue Bell District: 7430 Primary Contact: Ron Smith Email: rsmith@materialsresources.com Check all projects from: [District 7430] [Blue Bell Rotary Club] [Ron Smith] Proposed Financing Primary Host Sponsor Rotary Club/District Rotary Club of Kampala North $4,000 District 9200 DDF $1,500 Primary International Sponsor Rotary Club/District District 7430 DDF $8,000 Additional Rotary Clubs/Districts District 7500 DDF $5,000 Amount requested from the Rotary Foundation $16,500 Total $35,000 Status and Progress Information Completed This project is completed.
