Kitgum General Hospital received new medical equipment after operating without proper imaging services for two years. The mobile X-ray machine arrived with advanced computer software that helps doctors detect diseases more accurately. Patients can receive X-ray services at the public hospital instead of paying private clinics for these tests. The Ministry of Health delivered the equipment as part of efforts to improve medical care across Uganda. Hospital staff celebrated the arrival of this important diagnostic tool.
Dr Geoffrey Okello runs the medical operations at Kitgum hospital and praised the new machine. The equipment will help medical teams identify tuberculosis cases faster and more effectively. District leaders believe the X-ray machine moves the hospital closer to becoming a major regional medical center. Arwai Christopher Obol leads Kitgum district and called the equipment a major achievement for local healthcare. The hospital serves many communities across the region who need quality medical services.
State Minister Lillian Aber visited the hospital and commended workers for their dedication during difficult times. She promised to help secure funds for repairing the main X-ray unit that stopped working two years ago. Deputy district commissioner Hajj Walire Marijan warned hospital staff about proper equipment management. He stressed that X-ray services must remain free for all patients who need them. Any worker who charges money for these services will face serious consequences from hospital management.
