“At I&M Bank, we value the vital role that mothers play within our communities. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we stand tall in our efforts to stand by those mothers who require support, reinforcing our pledge to enhance the lives of women and other vulnerable groups in our society,” Mr. Bairstow said.

“This donation represents our earnest endeavor to foster improved maternal health and bolster the welfare of both mothers and their newborns within our local community,” he added.

I&M Nsambya 6: Dr Andrew Ssekitoleke, CEO Nsambya Hospital expressed gratitude stating that the donation will greatly alleviate the burden on mothers.

Dr. Andrew Ssekitoleke who is the Chief Executive Officer of Nsambya Hospital expressed gratitude, stating that the donation will greatly relieve the burden on mothers who will access the items free of charge.

“This donation will be instrumental in assisting financially struggling mothers who may even face challenges in acquiring basic necessities,” Nabawanuka remarked. “When you lessen the burden from a mother, you’re essentially lifting a burden from an entire family,” she added, emphasizing the ripple effect of such support on the wellbeing of families in need.

The 2022 Uganda Demographic Health Survey reported significant improvements in maternal and infant mortality rates. The Maternal Mortality Ratio decreased from 336 to 189 per 100,000 live births, while the infant mortality rate decreased from 43 to 34 per 1,000 live births.

These positive trends signify progress in maternal and child health outcomes in Uganda. Additionally, initiatives such as the recent donation exercise by I&M Bank Uganda, providing essential support to pregnant mothers at Nsambya Hospital, contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve healthcare access and outcomes for mothers and children across the country.
