Description
Halo everyone I am ELLY a physician assistant (clinical officer) by profession, 25 years old from Masaka ,Uganda working with a local health sciences research organization in Uganda and also operating medical clinic in our country capital Kampala .
Back in 2013 me and my fellow team we engaged in Virtuous Samaritan deeds which are still ongoing centered at our medical clinic which serves the local community at a free cost and some services at a very slight fee. We are; offering amenities like immunization, Planned Parenthood, medical services, simple surgical services, laboratory services among others.
At this moment this medical clinic acts as a heart for our non-medical work; ie averting diseases, conducting healthiness camps in the countryside, promoting socio-economic development and status of vulnerable and disadvantaged women, youths and men in the community, setting and adopting behavioral change communication strategy and Primary Health Care (PHC) services.
We work with diverse sects of people, secular and some religious. Our focus is simply to help people wherever they are. We make no distinctions based on race, religion, social strata or tribe. Among what we do includes the following ;
Research in health sciences fields.
Primary health care and Community health work which includes health camps, mentoring, and home visiting.
