CHARITY WORK

IMG is committed to reaching out to the community through charity-based services. We offer free and/or subsidized medical services to a number of orphanages and babies homes in Kampala and upcountry. These clients make up a percentage of the total clientele base.

Abandoned babies-Welcome home, Sanyu Babies home and Nsambya babies home are some of the homes that send abandoned babies to us for treatment.

Dwelling places is also another home that sends street children to for treatment at subsidized rates.

Rehabilitation-IMG also offers rehabilitation services i.e. orthopaedic and plastic surgery to formerly abducted children through Concern Parents Association.

We also offer rehabilitation services to acid survivors under Acid Survivors’ Foundation Uganda.

IMG has also sponsored children from the north for further studies, of which 2 are now medical officers and 4 are pursuing secondary education.

Community services:

our involvement in the running of a farm clinic has given us the opportunity to serve the community by teaching them the basics of primary health care.

Collaborations were made with Hima cement to allow voluntary counseling and testing of HIV for community people at their factory clinic that we also run.

We are also in collaboration with Hands of help in Jinja and are helping to train community health workers in basic health skills.

IMG has embarked on setting up and having an International Medical Community Centre (IMCC) in Gulu district. Through this centre, we will reach out to the community by sensitizing them on family planning, reduction of maternal mortality rate, promote use of treated mosquito nets to prevent catching of malaria and carry out VCT & ART services.

Another initiative of late has been the collection of clothes to send to Internally Displaced People in the camps of which staff have overwhelmingly responded to through their generous donations.

Suubi children’s home- we helped them find a new home and through some IHK volunteers, provided them with food, beds and beddings and free health care.

“Touch Namuwongo” is another project we intend to carry out, to help the people in the vicinity with in which the hospital is located to get access to basic health care through immunization, family planning and health talk programmes.
