Uganda: UPDF Engineers Set to Revive Stalled Mitooma Health Projects
[Nile Post] Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa has said UPDF engineers will resume construction of two stalled health facilities in Mitooma District next week, following delays that left the projects incomplete.
Ugandan Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa announced on Thursday that UPDF engineers will restart construction on two health facilities in Mitooma District, which have been delayed and left incomplete. The projects, located at Bitereko Health Centre III and Kigyende Health Centre III, were initially scheduled for completion within six months but were extended to 12 months.
Tayebwa expressed confidence in the UPDF Engineering Brigade to finish the work, citing their previous success in delivering infrastructure. The delay in the projects' progress was attributed to challenging terrain and the destruction of a bridge that impeded access to the construction site. UPDF site engineer Lt Vincent Ongaba stated that the restoration of the bridge and the team's resumption of work is expected to lead to significant progress within six months.
The resumption of these health projects aims to improve healthcare access for the residents of Mitooma District.
