On 7th February 2026, Specs Medical Cenre Namugongo branch successfully conducted a Dental Health Camp as part of its annual Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. The camp provided preventive dental screenings and education, reinforcing the Centre’s belief that prevention is both lifesaving and cost saving.
In the same spirit of service, Spes Medical Centre Kitintale will host a Sexual and Reproductive Health Camp on Saturday, 7th March 2026, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, ahead of the International Women’s Day celebrations.
The camp will offer:
- Free HIV Testing and Counseling
- Free Urinalysis Tests
- Free Blood Pressure Screening
- Free Diabetes Screening
- Free Breast Cancer Screening
- Ultrasound Scans at subsidized rates
The initiative will place special emphasis on supporting expecting mothers, promoting early child planning literacy, and providing guidance to couples experiencing fertility challenges.
Dr. Jawadu Niwamanya, Lead Doctor at the Kitintale branch, emphasized the urgency of reproductive and maternal health interventions:
“Reproductive health is foundational to family stability and national development. When maternal health services are accessible, we reduce preventable complications, maternal mortality, and newborn risks. Early screening, timely antenatal care, and informed family planning empower women and couples to make safe, confident decisions about their health. Improving maternal health outcomes is not only a medical priority but a community responsibility.”
Uganda continues to face challenges related to maternal health, preventable infections, and limited access to reproductive health education, particularly among underserved communities. By providing free and subsidized services, Spes Medical Centre aims to bridge knowledge gaps, encourage early testing, and promote preventive care practices that can significantly reduce long term health burdens.
“Giving back to the community is part of our under lying objectives and it is also in line with Ministry of Health guidelines and a responsibility we take seriously,” said Dr. Alice Hope Banga, Director of Spes Medical Centre.
“Healthcare costs continue to rise, but access must not shrink. Our goal is to ensure that even with increasing operational expenses, communities can still receive quality, dignified care at affordable rates. We are investing locally in infrastructure and skilled personnel so that Ugandans do not have to travel far or pay excessively for essential services.” She added.
Since its establishment in 2022, Spes Medical Centre has remained steadfast in its mission to narrow the healthcare access gap. Through community camps, structured service delivery, and technology integrated care systems, the Centre continues to demonstrate that hope is not abstract. It is measured in screenings conducted, mothers supported, children immunized, and families educated.
Rooted in a philosophy inspired by structured and technology driven healthcare models admired abroad, the Centre emphasizes professional staffing, patient experience, and sustainable ownership. Its mission is clear-bring high standard, affordable healthcare closer to Ugandans who need it most.
Banga further urged the general public to, “Attend the Sexual and Reproductive Health Camp at the Kitintale branch on 7th March 2026 and take advantage of the free and subsidized services available.”
