Centenary Bank has donated 10 computers to Our Lady of Consolata-Kisubi Hospital in a bid to strengthen digital health systems, improve patient record management, and enhance the overall quality of healthcare services at the facility.
The computers were officially handed over by Centenary Bank’s Managing Director, Mr. Fabian Kasi, during a ceremony held at the hospital premises. The event was attended by hospital management and staff, representatives from Centenary Bank, and invited guests.
Speaking at the handover, Mr. Kasi reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting communities through investments that address pressing societal needs, particularly in health, education, and social services.
“As a bank of the people, whatever concerns the people, concerns us. We recognise that efficient healthcare today depends not only on skilled professionals and medical supplies, but also on strong information systems that support timely decision-making and quality care,” he said.
Uganda’s health sector continues to make progress but faces persistent challenges such as under-resourced record systems, fragmented patient data, and inefficient information flows. Many facilities still rely on paper-based records, which consume valuable clinician time, increase the risk of errors, and make it difficult to monitor patient outcomes.
The donated computers are expected to help Kisubi Hospital digitize and streamline key functions, including patient registration, clinical record-keeping, laboratory reporting, diagnostics, and stock management. This will reduce delays, improve accuracy, and free up clinicians’ time to focus more on patient care.
Centenary Bank has been serving communities for the past 42 years and annually commits 2% of its previous year’s profit to initiatives under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) mandate.
“This year alone, the bank has directly reached over 40,000 people through more than 1,000 activities, with investments amounting to nearly UGX 6 billion,” Mr. Kasi noted.
Receiving the computers on behalf of the hospital, Dr. Robert Asaba, Medical Director of Kisubi Hospital, described the donation as timely and transformative.
“This support from Centenary Bank comes at a critical time for us when both our patient and medical staff numbers are increasing. These computers will significantly strengthen our ability to manage patient information, improve coordination between departments, and enhance the efficiency of our services. Ultimately, this means better, safer, and faster care for our patients,” Dr. Asaba said.
Centenary Bank has a long-standing history of supporting healthcare institutions across Uganda. Over the years, the bank has provided maternity beds, water tanks, medical equipment, blood donations, medical camps, renovations, and construction support. Its flagship health initiative is the fight against cancer, to which it has contributed close to UGX 4 billion.
