PKF Uganda has partnered with Rotary Club of Kampala South with a Generous UgX16,000,000 Contribution towards the upgrade of the Mengo Hospital Dialysis Centre. Established in 2022 through a partnership with the Rotary Club of Kampala South, the Mengo Dialysis Unit began with three dialysis beds and has since carried out over 3,000 dialysis sessions.
Currently, the unit serves approximately 14 patients per day, offering affordable and accessible care to individuals with kidney disease.
Speaking about the UGX 16 million donation from his office, Rotary District Governor of District 9213, Geoffrey Martin Kitakule, reaffirmed Rotary’s commitment to supporting the unit in its expansion and affordability efforts. He thanked PKF Uganda for Uniting For Good with Rotary Club of Kampala South in supporting such a noble cause that aligns with core values of Rotary to extend affordable health care services to the public.
This donation by PKF will support the center to acquire machines that will further lower the costs of Dialysis although the Dialysis costs at Mengo Hospital remain the most affordable in the country but are still out of reach to many.

This additional UgX16,000,000 will further empower Rotary Club of Kampala South to continue this vital work and expand the Dialysis center, to touch more lives.
