PKF Uganda has partnered with the Rotary Club of Kampala South with a generous Shs 16 million contribution towards upgrading the Mengo Hospital Dialysis Centre. Established in 2022 through that partnership, the Mengo Dialysis Unit began with three beds and has since carried out over 3,000 dialysis sessions.
Opened on 22nd January 2022, the Mengo Hospital Dialysis Center is a USD 84,400 global grant project by the Rotary Club of Kampala South and partners. The unit currently serves approximately 14 patients per day, offering affordable and accessible care to individuals with kidney disease.
Rotary District Governor of District 9213, Geoffrey Martin Kitakule, reaffirmed Rotary’s commitment to supporting the unit’s expansion and affordability efforts. He thanked PKF Uganda for “Uniting For Good” with Rotary Club of Kampala South in supporting a cause aligned with Rotary’s core values of extending affordable healthcare to the public.
He noted that PKF’s donation will help the centre acquire machines that further lower dialysis costs, although the Mengo centre already offers the most affordable dialysis in Uganda—costs that still remain out of reach for many.
President Faridah Namutebi of the Rotary Club of Kampala South extended sincere gratitude to PKF Uganda for their continued generosity and dedication to the club’s mission. She emphasized that this additional Shs 16 million will empower the club to expand the dialysis centre and touch more lives.
She added: “This is a testament to the power of partnership and the incredible impact we can make when we work together. Let’s celebrate this fantastic news and look forward to the even greater good we can achieve with PKF Uganda’s continued support!”
Namutebi also highlighted that the Mengo Dialysis Unit was initiated to address the critical need for affordable dialysis—an issue both locally and globally. She called on all partners to help lower costs so that even the average Ugandan can access this vital care.
This year, Rotary District 9213 has campaigned under the hashtag #RotaryEyamba to show the impact Rotary has on the Ugandan community, and the partnership with PKF Uganda is a testimony that Rotary is indeed Uniting for Good with like-minded partners, and it is here to help improve lives.
