Hon Robinah Nabbanja has flagged off 50 Tricycles that were donated by Rotary International to be used in various villages.
Nabbanja graced the ceremony at Commonwealth Resort Hotel Munyonyo on behalf of President Yoweri Museveni.
During the function, she lauded Rotarians for offering voluntary services to the underprivileged in various service delivery and quality healthcare initiatives.
President Museveni welcomed the idea of having a well-facilitated tricycle ambulance in every village in Uganda.
According to the District Governor Rotarian Peace, the 50 tricycle ambulances will enhance timely referral of mothers and newly born babies in hard-to-reach places and said this is a pilot project targeting Wakiso, Kabarole, and Kabaale and it will be rolled out in the entire country depending on the availability of resources.
He adds that the tricycles will be registered under the Ministry of Health and will be situated at Health Center IIIs where most maternal mortality cases are reported.
