The Uganda Prisons Service is nearing completion of a state-of-the-art staff clinic at the Luzira Prison Complex, poised to transform healthcare delivery for staff, inmates, and the surrounding communities.
The ultra-modern facility will offer comprehensive healthcare services, including high-capacity wards, an intensive care unit, a maternity ward, a surgical theater, laboratory and diagnostic services, and specialized departments for dentistry, mental health, and HIV/AIDS treatment.
“This clinic aims to revolutionize healthcare delivery for staff, inmates, and the surrounding communities of Luzira, Mutungo, Kitintale, Bugolobi, Mbuya, and Nakawa,” said Fred Akena, the deputy spokesperson for Uganda Prisons.
With advanced medical technology, such as electronic medical records and telemedicine capabilities, the clinic is expected to significantly enhance healthcare access and quality. Additionally, the government hopes it will reduce referrals to external facilities, increase staff productivity, and serve as a model for prison healthcare across the region.
