The Lamwo Deputy Resident District Commissioner (DRDC), Sébastian Oguti Oswin has lauded the USAID Regional healthy Integration to Enhance Services North (USAID-RHITES-N, Acholi) for the renovation of Laboratory at Madi-Opei HCIV.
Oguti says the Laboratory will enhance disease surveillance, diagnosis, treatment and prevention both in Lamwo district and neighboring areas including Suth Sudan because Madi-Opei HCIV is on the highway to South Sudan.
Oguti who doubles as Deputy Dean of RDCs in Uganda, made the remarks while receiving the fully renovated Laboratory from RHITES-N at Madi Opei Town council on Wednesday.
The renovation was worth over 280 million Uganda shillings.
“We have this Laboratory here in Madi-Opei because of the good working relationship between Uganda government and the United States of America. The NRM government promised the improvement in health services in Ugandans and it’s being done and we must appreciate the government of President Museveni,” said.
Chief of Party of RHITES-N Acholi Dr. Abel Nkolo noted that, RHITES-N supported the HCIV with equipment for human diagnosis, mentorship on ISO 1589:2012, BRM among others.
“Now the Health Management committee and the district must sustain the facility,” he said.
