Rukoki Health Centre IV in Nyamwamba Division of Kasese Municipality has been accredited by Government through the Ministry of Health to operate as a public hospital.
The development has been revealed by the Kasese District Chairperson, Mr. Eliphaz Muhindi Bukombi. He, however, noted that the facility would officially start offering services of a hospital with effect from July 01, this year.
Mr. Muhindi, who was addressing the media today afternoon in Kasese town, stressed that in addition to Rukoki Health Centre IV, two more health facilities including Bugoye Health Centre III in Bugoye Sub-county and Nyabirongo in Kisinga Town Council would begin running as Health Centre IVs.
He was optimistic that the elevation of those health facilities would come along with employment opportunities to the professional health workers.
The District Boss used the same platform to implore the learners to embrace the idea of taking up health related courses, adding that they would be on high demand as government elevates more facilities with a recruitment of more staff.
