GET WELL GENERAL CLINIC
PROJECT CODE: UPA/MLTV/02
| Background | Get well general clinic was started up in 2011 in the distant/slum areas of Lubaga division-Lubya parish; five (5)kms from the capital city of Uganda. The establishment of Get well was due to lack of proper health services in the community as people had to travel long distances to access medical services from the hospitals. The Clinic currently has a capacity of up to ten beds. It is registered by the Medical board council of Uganda with a practicing License. |
| Vision: | To become a regional leader in holistic health care provision, combining excellent clinical services with community based health approaches through research, sensitization and advocacy. |
