Dr Michael Mugwanya passed away on Wednesday aged 46.
He has been acclaimed as a very hardworking and dedicated doctor.
According to his colleagues, in 2005, Dr Mugwanya was medical officer at Bukomero Health Centre IV in Kiboga District. At the time, the district was extremely rural.
“He and other colleagues came into the wilderness that was Kiboga right from medical school with their young families, worked in deeply rural health facilities with no mobile network, extremely rough roads, and understaffed in the land of ‘Nakawunde’,” Mr Roy Mayega, a friend of the deceased, said in his tribute.
He added: “They worked with budgets of Shs250,000 for health centre II, Shs750,000 for health centre III, Shs4 million for health centre IV per quarter from primary healthcare conditional grant at a time when cost sharing was abolished.”
