C-Care Uganda and Rotary Uganda have entered a new era of collaboration, formalized through a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at transforming healthcare access across the country. This renewed partnership signals a bold commitment to bringing essential medical services to communities that need them the most.
The two organizations already share a track record of success. Their joint Namuwongo Malaria Project reached over 5,200 households, positively impacting 22,000 lives, while the “One Race, One Cancer” campaign carried out 80 nationwide outreach events, delivering life-saving cancer education, screenings, and early detection to more than 40,000 people.
Building on this foundation, the new MOU sets an ambitious agenda: 100 targeted health outreaches designed to reach over 50,000 Ugandans. These programs will prioritize preventive care, medical screenings, early diagnosis, specialized consultations, and community health education, ensuring that critical healthcare reaches even the most remote areas.
Azhar Sundhoo, CEO of C-Care Uganda, underscored the central role of trust in successful partnerships. “Rotary has placed immense faith in C-Care to deliver on our commitments, and this MOU strengthens that bond,” he explained. “Together, we are poised to expand healthcare access nationwide, creating a model for sustainable community wellness.”
Sheila Aboth, Head of Brand and Client Experience at C-Care Uganda, spoke to the personal dedication behind the initiative. “At C-Care, caring for communities is more than a mission—it’s our calling. With Rotary’s support, we can reach deeper into underserved areas, focusing on preventive care and maximizing impact, even with limited resources,” she said.
Rotary leaders echoed the enthusiasm for the partnership. Godfrey Kitakule, Governor of District 9213, highlighted the alignment of their missions: “Rotary exists to serve above self. Collaborating with C-Care allows us to reach communities with limited healthcare options and make a real, measurable difference in people’s lives.”
Christine Kawooya, Governor of District 9214, added, “This collaboration is more than a project—it’s a strategic pillar for our work this year. By joining forces with C-Care, we are creating enduring improvements in public health that will touch thousands of Ugandans.”
Beyond outreach programs, the partnership also introduces enhanced wellness benefits for Rotarians through the C-Care Health Card, providing members and their families with greater access to quality healthcare. This strengthened alliance represents a transformative step toward ensuring that tens of thousands of Ugandans receive the preventive care, medical attention, and health education they need to thrive.
