Update

Thank you for checking in to the blog. There is a lot of good work going on in Gulu

Advances continue

Dr Nick Laing and Fiona working in the diocesan and health coordination office are moving things along well. Our money has been used to assist in a number of ways.

Oberabic

Oberabic, the health centre in the most impoverished community, has been assisted by Gulu Connection with:

• provision of solar power,
• refurbishment of accommodation block,
• provision of a solar fridge,
• purchasing most of their drugs,
• paying for one nurse assistant,
• financing an incentive scheme for the staff at the health centre to increase their provision of family planning services. Limiting the size of families is a key component in improving maternal child mortality and health.
• Purchase of motor bike
• We have agreed to upgrade the solar installation to make the solar fridge fully reliable.

St Peter’s Health Centre, Awere

This health centre serves the second poorest community and has made magnificent – and to Peter’s unfaithful thinking - unexpected progress over the last couple of years. Gulu Connection is providing the whole of one qualified nurse’s salary and subsidising a second.

Saint Luke's health Centre Koro – just outside Gulu



New St Luke's Building

This was housed in a very inadequate shop unit. In the autumn of 2015 Gulu Connection provided £5000 to complete a new health centre building which is a massive improvement on what went before.

 

 

More news soon - hopefully!!!
