Teresa, a determined 55-year-old, accompanied her brother Carlos to our clinic after he struggled with a persistent cough and fatigue. After Carlos received a heartbreaking diagnosis of lung cancer, the family faced an uncertain future. Thanks to the compassionate standard of care at Salud Para el Mundo Huembes, Carlos received dignified support during this challenging time. During her time at the clinic with Carlos, Teresa also underwent routine check-ups, eventually revealing undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. With access to our new diabetes service, Teresa learned to effectively manage her health. Today, she is thriving, having adopted new habits and inspiring her husband to join her on the journey. Because of your support, families like Teresa’s have the opportunity to transform their lives and embrace a fuller vision of health.

At 73, beloved mother and grandmother Isabel visited our clinic after hearing about the exceptional care her family received. During her evaluation, our physicians discovered undiagnosed diabetes and several other health challenges. With our support, Isabel was able to stabilize her conditions and continues to actively manage her health. Today, Isabel cherishes quality time with her family, made even more significant by the transformative power of compassionate care. Because of your support, older adults like Isabel can lead healthier lives, maintaining the crucial role they play in the lives of their loved ones.

At just seven months old, Isaac faced a critical health crisis. His mother, a cleaner, brought him to Bweyale Kitara Medical Centre at the recommendation of his aunt. After being treated at multiple other facilities without improvement, Isaac arrived at the clinic with a high-grade fever, irritability, and severe diarrhea. Our medical team tested him for typhoid and discovered a positive result. With this diagnosis, we immediately began treatment via intravenous antibiotics and hydration. Thanks to the dedicated care Isaac received, his condition improved significantly, and he was discharged with a treatment plan for ongoing recovery. During a follow-up with our Telehealth team, Isaac’s mother reported that her son was doing well; today, she encourages other parents to seek help for their children at our facility.

I really liked the experience I had at the Mobile Clinic, treating patients who are so grateful to be able to receive a medical service close to their homes. The warmth of the people in these communities is something very special. Observing the many economic, health, and mobility deficiencies that these patients face made me more more supportive, empathetic, and motivated to make them feel loved through dignified treatment and quality care.

My job at Masindi-Kitara Hospital has enabled me to mentor and train junior nurses, in order to ensure continuity in quality care to the patients and communities we serve. Being able to give back through outreach—taking services to communities in need at no cost—always restores hope to patients' lives. The job has also exposed me to career growth. I have gained knowledge and skills through training facilitated by OneWorld Health, in areas of emergency care treatment, effective communication skills, cardiopulmonary emergency, and neonatal care.

Working with OneWorld Health has impacted me quite positively. I asked God for a job that would help me develop my profession, and that is what’s happening. I really appreciate being here—I have learned a lot about love and understanding from my colleagues.

Working at OWH, I have served many children with severe illnesses. We see many parents who have taken their child to other facilities where they are charged a lot of money but not relieved of their ailments. They sometimes come to our facility as their last resort, with no hope of getting healed. When these families come to us, we treat them well, and hope to see them leave with smiles on their faces. I remember one child whose family escaped to Uganda from Sudan’s recent war. The child was brought to us semi-conscious with severe malnutrition, dehydration, pneumonia, skin sepsis, and acute kidney failure. The parents believed in us because they heard we treated many other children with malnutrition in the district. Through careful teamwork, we treated the child, and in just a few days, he was able to sit, walk, eat, and communicate to his parents and family after a long time. It was more than satisfying to see this child gain his life back.
