ST. Anthony’s Hospital in Tororo town is to open a special out-patients’ clinic to assist people who have suffered trauma.
The clinic will be funded by an American family whose son died in the september 2001 terrorist attack in New York.
James Odongo, the Archbishop of Tororo Catholic Archdiocese, revealed this in his Christmas and New Year’s message.
He said the clinic was a timely donation given that many Ugandans have suffered from rebel activities, political violence and HIV/AIDS.
Odongo explained that some other benefactors from the US, through their Missionary Co-operative Plan, had donated a machine to the hospital to examine heart problems.
Meanwhile, the Benedictine Eye Clinic near St. Peter’s College, Tororo, has been elevated to a hospital status.
Odongo said he would solicit funds through Caritas (the development arm of the Catholic Church) to construct wells to provide safe water to communities in the archdiocese.
He advised christians to build Church-founded educational institutions to produce strong, decent leaders with Christian values and ethics.
