KAMPALA - Makerere University School of dentistry has received two digital x-rays donated by Dr. Geoffrey and Aisha Bataringaya to the department of dentistry.

Commending the Bataringaya family for the donation Mbaziira urged Ugandans to adopt the culture of donation for better livelihoods.
"Most of the powerful universities all over the world run on donations, alumni funds as compared to tuition fees. I encourage students to champion such causes for the betterment of society," Mbaziira said.

She called upon the university to recruit specialized personnel to handle the equipment and to also set aside a budget that will maintain them.
