Doctor Ibrahim Kalinaki is head of the medical centre in Kisozi. The medical centre offers medical assistance to people in Kisozi and surroundings. Medicine can be obtained at the medical centre as prescribed by doctor Ibrahim Kalinaki and in case intensive medical help is required, the doctor can direct patients to bigger hospitals in for example Jinja. In the future, E & E medical centre wishes to open a maternity ward, because at this moment, women in Kisozi cannot obtain good assistance during delivery in Kisozi and surroundings. Hope Alive Uganda even hopes an ambulance will be available in the future so that patients who are seriously ill, patients who have had a serious accident or pregnant women who have major problems during delivery can be transported quickly to bigger hospitals.
