Manilom Providing Health Care to Communities in Mbale City

By Ilukor Geresom

In the heart of Eastern Uganda, Manilom Global Solutions Co. Ltd is championing a transformative approach to health care delivery in Mbale City. With growing urban populations and increasing public health demands, Manilom has stepped in to bridge critical gaps in access, awareness, and affordability of essential health services for city residents.

Responding to Urban Health Challenges

Urban settings like Mbale City face a unique mix of health challenges, from overburdened health facilities and limited outreach services to rising cases of non-communicable and communicable diseases. Manilom’s health care initiative is designed to bring quality services closer to the people, especially those in informal settlements, peri-urban areas, and underserved communities.

Integrated Community Health Services

Manilom’s health programs in Mbale City are built on an integrated community health model. Through health outreach camps, mobile clinics, and home visits, residents can access services such as:

1. General health screenings
2. Maternal and child health support
3. HIV testing and counseling
4. Health education and sanitation campaigns
5. Immunization drives

These services are delivered in collaboration with local health centers and supported by trained community health volunteers, ensuring continuity of care and follow-up.

Prioritizing Preventive and Primary Health Care

Manilom places strong emphasis on prevention rather than cure. In a city where lifestyle-related conditions are on the rise, the organization is actively promoting health literacy, encouraging regular medical checkups, and sensitizing communities on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.

Empowering Communities Through Health Education

Education is a cornerstone of Manilom’s mission. The organization regularly holds health talks in schools, markets, and churches, using culturally appropriate communication methods to reach a wide audience. Topics such as adolescent health, reproductive rights, substance abuse prevention, and environmental sanitation are tackled to empower individuals to make informed health choices.

Building Partnerships for Impact

Manilom believes in collaboration for sustainable impact. The company works closely with Mbale City Health Department, community-based organizations, and professional health workers to design interventions that are responsive to local needs. By engaging stakeholders at all levels, Manilom ensures ownership, trust, and sustainability.

A Vision for Healthier Cities

Looking forward, Manilom aims to scale its urban health model to other municipalities, investing in digital health innovations, telemedicine, and community-based health insurance models that can ease the burden on public facilities while improving health outcomes.

With a clear commitment to equity, dignity, and access, Manilom continues to make health care not just a service—but a right—for all residents of Mbale City.
