NAWEC’s Health Centre III was upgraded to level III during the pandemic period. COVID restrictions limited access to safe birthing facilities. Seeing this critical gap in women’s right to health, we launched a new maternity ward with support from our donors and partners. In 2020 we delivered 61 healthy babies. The health centre also acts as a hands-on training centre for CHWs and government clinicians.
The health facility was upgraded to health from health centre two to three in 2020.
The health Centre has come a long way from a small unrecognized local health facility in Lukojjo to a well-known Centre of excellence for the provision of the best quality health services and training in Mukono district and the surrounding areas. Key services include; laboratory services, ultrasound scans, antenatal care, postnatal care, maternity services, immunization, and a newly introduced COVID-19 unit.
