     The Newly Constructed DRDIP – Maternity Ward 

DRDIP constructed a General Ward and 1 block of drainable latrines and 1 block of 4 stance bathing blocks.  Lobule Health Center III in Koboko District.  The Health Center serves a population of up to 15,000 Ugandans and refugees in Lobule Parish and receives up to 2000 patients per month with at least 10 admissions per day. 

Most of the patients received at the OPD unit are women seeking prenatal, antenatal, and post-natal care. The staffing for the Health Center includes; 1 senior clinical officer, 1 enrolled nurse, 2 enrolled nurses provided through UNHCR, 2 midwives, 1 lab technician, 2 nursing assistants, and 1 records clerk. 

Aya Nema is a 50-year-old Ugandan national, shared her experience at the Health Center:

“Before DRDIP came, we were attended to in a small maternity ward where both male and females shared the same small building with a small area reserved for maternity patients.  The beauty with this construction is that now the new building is spacious, there is labour ward which is separate and a ward for males.  The challenge is that the new ward gets overwhelmed and cannot cater for all the needs of the women so children and women have to be put together. Services have been moving well and I also bring my children her for medications and other services.”
