Stanbic Bank collaborated with Busaiga SACCO to establish a medical outreach program at Fort Portal while simultaneously providing essential equipment to Nyantabooma Health Centre III. The financial institution delivered medical supplies valued at 20 million shillings to enhance maternal healthcare capabilities at the facility. Equipment donations encompassed modern centrifuges, fetal monitoring devices, oxygen concentrators, blood pressure monitors, professional stethoscopes, and maternal care packages. Tunde Thorpe from Stanbic Bank emphasized the initiative's alignment with the company's commitment to community development and women's health advancement. The partnership represents part of ongoing nationwide efforts to strengthen Uganda's healthcare infrastructure through private sector collaboration.
Nyantabooma Health Centre III operates as a primary healthcare facility serving approximately 17,000 outpatients each year while managing 200 antenatal appointments and facilitating 50 monthly deliveries. Dr. Moses Gumisiriza acknowledged the donation's significance for improving local healthcare quality and reducing patient referrals to distant facilities. The medical camp attracted 350 community members who received complimentary healthcare services during the event. Healthcare workers conducted cancer screenings for 23 women and performed diabetes, blood pressure, and HIV testing for 200 additional patients. Local officials noted that teenage pregnancy rates in the subcounty reach 27 percent, representing the district's highest percentage.
Stanbic Bank has distributed over 22,000 maternal care kits to 85 healthcare facilities throughout Uganda since 2021. The bank's Employee Community Initiative Programme drives these healthcare partnerships as part of broader corporate social responsibility efforts. Community leaders encouraged residents to utilize the newly donated equipment to avoid expensive travel to remote medical centers.
