A drug maker held a free health camp for Luzira locals on World Malaria Day last week. Quality Chemical Industries Limited conducted medical checks at St Stephen's Church. The company distributed mosquito nets and tested people for malaria. Workers also checked blood pressure and offered eye exams for anyone who came.
Fred Kakooza from Qcil said the company has worked in Luzira for almost 20 years. He talked about how malaria hurts pregnant women and kids the most. Qcil makes malaria pills for many African countries. The firm started in 2005 and grew into a major medicine maker.
Malaria killed more than 37,000 Ugandans last year. Children and mothers face the highest risk from this disease. Harrison Kiggundu said the company wants to bring care to people who need it most. The global theme for 2025 asks everyone to fight harder against malaria. Qcil hopes its work helps create a Uganda free from this deadly illness.
