Kyantungo Health Centre IV in Kalangalo Sub-county, Mityana District, has registered notable improvements in service delivery following a monitoring visit by Assistant Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Wasswa Chrizestom Buyondo.
The visit, conducted at the government health facility located in Kiryokya Parish, was aimed at assessing the quality of healthcare services, evaluating progress on previous concerns raised by residents, and monitoring the utilisation of public resources.
During the inspection, Buyondo noted improvements in several areas, including staff attendance, availability of essential medicines, and the general condition of the facility.
"I am pleased to note that there has been remarkable improvement at this health facility. Health workers are reporting for duty consistently, essential drugs are available, and the overall working environment has improved," Buyondo said.
Among the developments highlighted was the renovation of the Out-Patient Department (OPD), which has been repainted to create a more conducive environment for patients seeking medical care.
The Assistant RDC also commended the facility management for repairing water tanks that had previously developed leakages, saying the intervention had improved water storage and sanitation at the health centre.
"The repairs of the water tanks and the renovation works demonstrate a commitment to improving healthcare services. Such interventions are important in ensuring that patients receive services in a clean and conducive environment," he added.
Buyondo further said the facility had recorded a decline in complaints from the surrounding communities, attributing the change to improved management and responsiveness by health workers.
"So far, we have not received serious complaints from residents concerning the services at Kyantungo Health Centre IV. This is an indication that the facility management and health workers are responding to the needs of the community," he noted.
Local leaders and residents welcomed the improvements, saying the changes had helped restore confidence in the health facility.
The monitoring visit is part of ongoing government efforts to strengthen accountability, improve healthcare delivery, and ensure public health facilities meet the needs of communities.
Authorities have urged health workers at Kyantungo Health Centre IV to maintain the progress and continue providing quality services while ensuring that government resources are effectively utilised for the benefit of residents
