More than 1,000 people had benefited from a wide range of essential health servicesEven as rain poured down on Saturday morning, hundreds of residents at Kasenyi Landing Site gathered to receive much-needed medical attention. By the end of the day, more than 1,000 people had benefited from a wide range of essential health services in what became a powerful display of community resilience and care.The medical camp was organized under a UGX 1 billion initiative by dfcu Bank, in partnership with Rotary Uganda, aimed at delivering preventive healthcare to underserved communities across Uganda over a three-year period.Residents received a full range of free services, including cancer screening, HIV testing and counselling, diabetes and blood pressure checks, dental care, child immunization, deworming, and general consultations.“Today, we’re not just offering treatment; we’re extending knowledge, dignity, and hope,” said Annet Namuddu, Branch Manager of dfcu Abayita Ababiri Branch.“By bringing healthcare closer to the underserved population of Kasenyi Landing Site, we are living our purpose of Transforming Lives and Businesses in Uganda.”The need in Kasenyi is profound. Ashe Kitandwe, President of the Rotary Club of Lungujja, noted that the site was carefully chosen after research revealed serious healthcare gaps. “Kasenyi faces the challenges common to many fishing communities including; high mobility, few health facilities, and a high risk of disease,” he said. “Today’s turnout shows both the urgency of the need and the impact that partnerships can have when they bring health within reach.”Fishing communities like Kasenyi are among the most vulnerable in Uganda, often recording higher rates of diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV compared to inland populations. For many, poverty and distance make access to basic healthcare nearly impossible.Kasenyi landing site was carefully chosen after research revealed serious healthcare gapsThe Kasenyi outreach marks another milestone in dfcu Bank and Rotary Uganda’s mission to take health services where they are needed most, the heart of Uganda’s underserved communities.
