Residents of Namutumba Sub-county in Namutumba District will soon be relieved of trekking long distances after construction of a Shs1.7b health centre III in Bulafa Village, Kigalama Parish started last week.
The development is in response to the government’s strategic plan to have a health centre III in every sub-county and phase out health centre IIs.

A number of private schools continue to face the resultant effects of Covid-19 as some proprietors sell off their schools following pressure from unserviced loans and utilities.
Lucrative private schools, which thrived on fees, are now in a financial meltdown, and have had their teachers go without salaries since the Covid-19 induced lockdown was slapped on schools to control the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
Based on a survey executed by Daily Monitor into the effects of Covid-19, across the country, primary, nursery and secondary schools have all had a bitter pinch as they struggle to stave off the financial woes orchestrated by the pandemic while others have been advertised off by banks.
