A church group set up a free medical camp at a public park in Kampala. The Shincheonji Church of Jesus offered services like blood pressure tests, HIV screenings, and eye exams. The Uganda branch head instructor, Woory Daniel Lim, said the event followed the teachings of their chairman in Korea, Man-hee Lee, about serving the community.
Lim noted the church, which has done blood drives before, wants to focus on public service, not just membership growth. This was their second health camp this year, following one in Tororo. The welfare department leader, Cathy Senkungu, said these annual events aim to improve physical and mental well-being across different districts.
A medical professional at the camp, an orthopaedic officer named David, highlighted the importance of early disease detection. He advised people to get checked regularly and to be mindful of their health, especially during the holiday season. Organizers stated they plan to expand these camps to more areas next year, hoping to partner with additional medical groups.
