We partnered with the Community Health and Information Network (CHAIN), Rotary Club Kiwenda and Rotary Club Ntinda to commemorate World Patient Safety Day. The celebrations were held in Namulonge Busukuma Health Center under the theme “Engaging Patients with the focus on elevating the voice of patients.

Our CEO - Jonan Kisakye was represented by Mr. Badru Bengo, Manager - Life & Pensions who noted that the partnership is a way of giving back to the community and delivering on our mandate of consumer protection. He added that UIA takes the health of Ugandans seriously and emphasized the need to enroll for Health Insurance.

During the celebration, medical camps were set up by different service providers to offer different health services such as free testing for HIV/AIDs, Blood Pressure check-ups among others.

As a tool to pass on the message of positive living for people with HIV/AIDS, music, dance and drama were used to remind them about consistent & timely medication.

Ms. Regina Mariam Namata, the Executive Director of CHAIN commended UIA and other partners for taking part in this year’s celebrations noting that community health is important and having patients who are informed is good for their recovery.
