ACTIVITY: MATERNITY CARE
Link Hands Uganda held an outreach on 23rd April 2020 at Mpumudde Health Centre IV in Jinja city to help pregnant mothers who are due with mama kits. This is not the first time LHU is reaching out to this facility which serves a higher number of patients more than the other health facilities with in Jinja city.
Objective
The main objective of this particular activity was and still is to help mothers in need and relieve them the burden looking for money to buy these mama kits which are so important and a necessity at the time of delivery.
Target Groups
Having informed the facility management a week before regarding the outreach, mobilization was done and our main targeted beneficiaries of expectant mothers who are at least 7 months and above was achieved overwhelmingly and we couldn’t finish up the numbers.
LHU’s Reverend Mwesigwa Benard and Paul Ssenabulya alongside few nurses at the facility distributed 25 mama kits in total to the expectant mothers who do attend their antenatal care sessions from Mpumudde Health Centre IV.
Besides the mama Kits, LHU was also on the same day able to reach out to the nurses with one box of surgical gloves.
Expectations
Our expectations as Link Hands Uganda to every woman is making use of these mama kits such that at the time of birth, safe delivery of their babies is ensured and we are destined to be checking on these mothers once they have given birth to see how they fairing on with their bundles of joy.
We also expect to reach out to as many women as we could in other facilities especially those in the rural areas because they are also badly off and needs a helping hand and it’s our prayer that God enables us to get funding that can reach out to all these mothers and put a smile on their lips as we promote safe delivery in hospitals.
