He asked the government which is charged with maintaining of citizenry health to intervene into the issue of many Ugandans seeking for treatment abroad after failing to receive quality healthcare services in domestic hospitals.

“Our health facilities are struggling to meet the demands we face. As a result, many people with resources are opting for alternatives to the government system,” Akena added.

Furthermore, the UPC president called on the government to equip health facilities with enough drugs, equipments and specialized health workers to improve on the state of healthcare in the country.

On the great services by the late Cecilia Ogwal who is also a former member of UPC, Akena said the late was a determined leader whose role in the party, parliament and national development will forever be felt.
