The university’s offer was communicated by Richard Rwabuhinga, the LCV Kabarole District Chairperson on Thursday to the district council. He confirmed that the university had dedicated four acres of its land at Ssaka, Kichwamba Sub County which has been approved by the district executive committee.
This follows the Health Minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng written request to Rwabuhinga for two acres of land where a heart centre can be established.
According to Aceng’s letter, the Uganda Heart Institute Act (2016) section (j) mandates the institute to establish and manage regional heart centres for the provision of cardiac services and medical care to heart patients.
