RUBANDA DISTRICT HANDS OVER UGX 621.9M BUFUNDI HC III MATERNITY AND THEATRE PROJECT

By Kobugabe Joanita

RUBANDA, October 23, 2026 — Rubanda District Local Government officials have today handed over a UGX 621,929,968 health infrastructure project at Bufundi Health Centre III, which is being upgraded to Health Centre IV level.

The project was implemented by the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Engineering Brigade and is aimed at strengthening healthcare infrastructure and improving access to essential medical services in the district.

The handover ceremony, held at the facility headquarters on Friday, October 23, 2026, is led by the District Chairperson, Mr. Ampeire Stephen Kasyaba, and the Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr. Kyeyune Senyonjo.

The event is being attended by area councillors, members of the District Executive Committee (DEC), security personnel, the UPDF team, district technical staff and health workers.

The project comprises the construction of a new theatre block based on Ministry of Health-approved designs, construction of a connecting walkway, remodelling of the general ward and renovation of the maternity ward.

The improvements are expected to strengthen maternal healthcare and surgical services while enhancing the functionality of the facility as it transitions towards Health Centre IV status.

The construction of the theatre block is a significant component of the project, intended to support the provision of surgical services, while the improved maternity and general wards will provide a better environment for patient care.

The district also emphasises the importance of ensuring that the facility is adequately staffed, equipped and supplied with essential medicines to maximise the benefits of the investment for the communities it serves.
