We are proud to announce a significant advancement at the Rakai Health Science Program (RHSP). Since our inception, the RHSP laboratory has been integral to our mission, playing a crucial role in both clinical and research capacities. Today, we remain steadfast in our commitment as a trusted institution dedicated to the well-being of our community.
As our community grows, so do the healthcare challenges we face. The rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among the aging population under HIV care, coupled with persistent inequities in service coverage across subpopulations, underscores the increasing necessity for comprehensive laboratory services. In response to these pressing concerns, we are thrilled to announce the expansion of RHSP’s laboratory services to better serve the people of Kyotera, Rakai, and neighbouring districts.
RHSP is expanding its laboratory services to include comprehensive health screenings, such as liver and kidney function tests, lipid profiles, HIV testing, and more, all at subsidised rates. These enhanced services will provide convenient, local access to essential healthcare for the people of Kyotera, Rakai, and neighboring districts, reducing the need for long and costly travel.
What This Expansion Means for Our Community:
- Affordable Care: Our high-quality diagnostic tests are now available at subsidised rates, making essential healthcare more accessible.
- Local Access: With our expanded services, you can receive comprehensive healthcare close to home, significantly reducing the need for long and costly travel.
Recently, we hosted a successful sensitisation meeting with local healthcare practitioners to discuss collaborative strategies for enhancing healthcare delivery in our region. By integrating our advanced diagnostic services with local health centers, clinics, and hospitals, we aim to provide comprehensive, accessible care right here in our community.
Your Role in This Initiative: We believe that with your support, this initiative will have a profound impact on our community’s health. We encourage you to spread the word about our expanded lab services, advocate for quality healthcare within your networks, and inspire others to utilize these critical resources.
