Rajesh Agrawal, the Networks Director at Airtel Uganda, who led the Airtel team, during the handover ceremony at Kisaasi in Kawempe division, said that through their strong Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, they realigned their investments in sustainable transformative partnerships in Agriculture, Digital Education, Financial Inclusion and Health under Airtel Cares Program.
Agrawal adds that with an improved health care system, more expectant mothers, the youths and other patients will be attracted to seek health services to a walkable distanced health facility and also improve their health seeking behaviors.
He believes that a healthy population is every country’s critical resource, so they remain committed to seeking partnerships that can help improve health service delivery and reduce the disease burden in the communities.
Agrawal however called upon the health facility to embrace telemedicine on the internet that allows medical practitioners to exchange ideas across the world.
Dr. Prosper Baryamujura the Head of Human Resources at Kisaasi CoU Health Centre , while receiving the donation, appreciated the support that Airtel Uganda has extended saying that the entire community and Church of Uganda are confident that the project benefit communities like Kisaasi, Kanyanya, Kikaaya and Kulambiro.
