CONSTRUCTION OF LIRA SATELLITE LABORATORY PROGRESSING 6 MONTHS AFTER BEING LAUNCHED

By Goodluck Musinguzi

 

The Minister for Health Dr Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero on Thursday officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony for the establishment of a shs 3.9 billion laboratory at Lira Regional Referral Hospital.

Dr Aceng was accompanied by Junior Health Minister Hon Anifa Kawoya, the Oyam woman MP Santa Alum Ogwang and MP Susan Abeja among other dignitaries from the Ministry of Health who turned up for the event.

Many people around Lira city appreciated the minister for such a great initiative among other things she contributed as far as the development of Lira city is concerned.

While addressing residents who turned up for the ceremony, Dr Aceng said 700 million pieces of equipment will be bought and put inside the laboratory.

She said this laboratory in Uganda is only in four places: Mbale, Mbarara, Arua and Lira.

Meanwhile on the other hand Aceng rallied her voters to be in good terms with medical workers at the hospital but not to insult them when accessing medical services in the health facilities

‘’The medical workers are for us and the hospital is very important for all of us and therefore take care of your life as glass,” said Aceng.

She however distanced herself from the issue of the hospital land eviction saying other people are misquoting her and telling lies that she wants the land.

The truth is some people took the hospital to the high court and court of appeal and the court ruling was made in favor of the hospital.
