St. Bernard’s Mannya Health CenterHealth Centre III, Kyotera
Background.
St. Bernard’s Mannya Health Centre III is a primary health care facility currently affording about 17,828 people annually access to quality Comprehensive essential health care. It was founded as a health centre II in 2007, however construction works had begun way back in 2006. Fr. Mugisha Nestus then the parish priest was key in founding this community resource. He did not only mobilise the community to construct the health centre but also Australian friends who later financially facilitated the process, and had the health centre operating in 2007. It was upgraded to Health Centre III status in 2012 since then Mannya Health Centre is an ongoing concern.
The Health Centre currently maintains 8 active partnerships with the following entities:-
- Cotton On Foundation
- Rakai Local Government
- Micro finance partners for Africa
- Joint Medical Store.
- Life Net international
- RHSP-UCMB Consortium
- Medical Access Uganda Ltd.
- Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau
These partnerships have played a role in preventing financial inaccessibility of quality & comprehensive health services at the health centre. Furthermore, they guard against catastrophic health expenditure on health by poor community members.
Recently, one of the partners has committed to starting an income generating project for needy mothers. This project will be hinged on the tenets of micro-financing and reciprocal benefit. In the event, this is hoped to reduce the prevalence of financial inaccessibility among the community members.
