SAVE A LIFE

The people of Kabubbu recognise their future well-being has healthcare needs at all levels.

A Parish Health Centre is a vital resource for the people who are not often able to afford to travel to a district health centre nor can they afford the costs of medicines when they get there.

The Minister of State for Health, district healthcare experts and the rural community in Kabubbu have told us how much they would value partnering with organisations and individuals in the UK assisting in the supply of healthcare.

In Kabubbu missionaries established a clinic in 1930. By 1935 they had left and the clinic closed. There had been no healthcare in the area since then, only a monthly immunisation programme. The nearest clinic was a 10 km walk away.

Quicken Trust, with the help of the British Airways 'Change For Good' programme and Unicef, built and equipped the Kabubbu Parish Health Centre to provide primary healthcare, primary healthcare education and simple maternity services to this rural area.

The Health Centre opened in December 2003. It is now treating around 1,500 patients each month by five nurses.

In 2009 an AIDS Support Centre was opened in association with Mildmay Hospital (based out of the East End of London) which is providing specialist support to over 300 AIDS victims.
