Pressing on!

Culvert to go under road for drainage

The aftermath of the floods has impacted in a range of ways as our overall patient numbers have reduced as people have seen or heard of the crisis in the media.
We have had many groups of visitors to the hospital ranging from local community members to government ministers, defence force engineers, colleagues from other health institutions etc. and we are grateful for this interest and support.

The Uganda National Roads Authority have been quick to provide mechanical diggers to widen the river to reduce the risk of further flooding should we have heavy rains again as it is still the rainy season.

Silt filled the Lagoon in the tourism area

After the digger... mud, mud, mud!

As well as the Hospital the farm, meadow and Kisiizi Falls lagoon area were affected by the floods which deposited tons of silt across the site...

Kisiizi Falls turned brown with all the silt

Blankets donated by local community family

We now have the main generator working again and drinking water back in most houses in the Kisiizi estate area.  The patients who had been evacuated from low-lying ward areas affected by the floods were moved back again after a few days but we will need to do decoration and refurbishment.

We are so grateful for all who have sent messages of encouragement and gifts to Kisiizi Partners appeal.  See www.kisiizihospital.org.ug for updates
