Stanbic Bank and World Vision Deliver Lifesaving Medical Boost to Mayuge Mothers and Newborns

In a powerful stride toward transforming maternal and neonatal healthcare, Stanbic Bank Uganda and World Vision Uganda have joined forces to bridge critical gaps in medical services at Kigandalo Health Centre IV, Mayuge District.

On July 4th, the organizations unveiled a UGX 20 million donation in essential equipment including ultrasound scan machines and glucometers designed to elevate care for expectant mothers and newborns. This comes as part of their Safe Motherhood partnership, championing health equity for underserved communities.

“This partnership reflects our shared vision of a healthier, more empowered Uganda,” said Connie Nankya, Communications and Marketing Director at World Vision Uganda. “The support directly addresses urgent gaps, especially in a region facing high teenage pregnancy rates and health risks.”

The impact is immediate and profound. The donated tools pave the way for:
– A functional neonatal unit at Kigandalo Health Centre.
– Upgrades to the theatre and labour suite.
– Improved safety and dignity with disability-friendly delivery beds and enhanced water reliability.

Diana Ondoga, Corporate Social Investments Manager at Stanbic Bank Uganda, emphasized the link between health and empowerment: “Good health is fundamental to economic empowerment. We’re proud to help mothers and children access the care they deserve.”

With operations spanning 53 districts, World Vision Uganda continues to tackle urgent issues in health, nutrition, child protection, education, and emergency response. This collaboration stands as a shining example of what private-public partnerships can achieve.
It’s more than a donation it’s a lifeline.
