Our Commitment to Equitable and Quality Healthcare in Mukono and beyond
At Nama Wellness Community Centre (NAWEC), our commitment is to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has access to equitable and quality healthcare services. We work closely with Community Health Workers (CHWs) as essential frontliners in achieving this goal.
Our CHW model is supported by clinical outreaches, our NAWEC Health Centre III in Lukojjo, Mukono, and robust government health facilities in the regions we serve. CHWs, selected by their communities, act as intermediaries between local populations and the formal healthcare system, bridging gaps in healthcare access.
Designed to improve healthcare access, promote health education, mobilize communities for health events, and address health disparities—especially those faced by women and children—our model has achieved significant milestones. Since our founding, we’ve reached 178,206 direct service beneficiaries, with 102,485 client visits at NAWEC HCIII, 36,356 outreach clients, and 15,668 children immunized. Additionally, we’ve supported 665 women and adolescents with mental health care, provided family planning services to 13,890 women, and delivered 596 babies at NAWEC HCIII since 2020. Our CHWs have conducted 261,085 household visits, treated 12,242 malaria cases, 4,987 pneumonia cases, and 3,260 diarrhea cases. Moreover, we’ve trained, equipped, supervised, and incentivized 100 CHWs while supporting 4 government health facilities.
Our work continues to make a lasting impact, improving health outcomes and promoting sustainable health development in Mukono and beyond.
