Lira Regional Referral Hospital has convened a sub-regional dialogue bringing together in-charges and doctors from health facilities across the 10 districts of the Lango sub-region, in a strategic effort to improve the quality of health service delivery.
The meeting, held on Thursday, 5 February 2026, was led by Hospital Director Andrew Odur and focused on strengthening coordination, governance, and technical capacity within the region’s health system.
Key issues discussed during the engagement included improving the referral system, enhancing skills transfer among medical personnel, streamlining the ambulance call and dispatch system, strengthening health facility governance, and reinforcing technical backstopping and support supervision.
Andrew Odur emphasised the importance of strong leadership and robust governance structures, particularly at lower-level health facilities. He noted that continuous improvement is essential across the sector.
“No health facility and no medical personnel is immune to improvement,” he said, calling for collective effort and synergy among health workers to transform service delivery in the sub-region.
The dialogue was officiated by JP Bagala on behalf of the Director General of Health Services. He commended doctors in the region for the progress made so far and urged them to uphold professional ethics and established standards.
JP Bagala called on facility in-charges to strengthen clinical governance, enforce mandatory attendance to duty, enhance the LMNS network coordination, and hold bi-annual barazas to foster accountability and community engagement.
Doctors who attended the meeting pledged to ensure that communities across Lango access quality health care and committed to cascading the information and strategies discussed to other health workers under their supervision.
