Our Projects
Bushika, Uganda (FIMRC)
Bushika sits at the base of Mt. Elgon, approximately 260km east of Kampala in a remote zone. Extreme poverty, a lack of infrastructure and low education levels all contribute to a complex health situation. Our first clinic, it has recently been rebuilt and now provides services to 14 different communities with over 60,000 patients registered on the database. As well as primary care, the clinic provides health education, antenatal services, maternity ward, HIV testing and counselling, laboratory services and malaria testing. Bushika is one of several clinics run by a US Charity: Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC)
Thanks to our EMRs this clinic provides medical data to the local District Health Department in a fraction of the time that it used to do when using a paper based system.
