NANSANA, WAKISO — Healthcare and community service took centre stage in Nansana on Sunday, 8 November 2026, as the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) partnered with the Ghetto Structures Programme for a free medical outreach benefiting residents of Nansana and surrounding communities.
The exercise brought together medical professionals, PLU representatives and local community leaders, with residents accessing healthcare services within their community.
Organised under the leadership of Counsel Freda Twesigye, PLU Coordinator for Wakiso District, the outreach involved the PLU Medical Team coordinated by Dr. Gilbert Tuhamire, alongside specialist doctors and general practitioners.
Medical services included general consultations, eye care, dental services, blood pressure and blood sugar screening, reproductive healthcare and cancer screening. The programme also covered specialised medical consultations and health guidance.
Maj. Emma Kuteesa attended the outreach alongside PLU officials and local Ghetto Structures leaders, including Businge Ali, Speaker of the Nansana Ghetto Structure, whose team worked with PLU in coordinating the community engagement.
Alongside the healthcare activities, the PLU membership registration team facilitated new registrations and the issuance of unique Patriotic Cadre (PC) identification numbers, linking members to their respective local structures.
The outreach also incorporated online endorsements for Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda, through the organisation’s digital platform at plu.org.ug.
The Nansana exercise brought PLU’s message of patriotism, national unity and community service into a practical setting, with medical professionals and community organisers working together to address everyday health needs.
For residents who attended, the value of the day extended beyond the formal programme — from checking blood pressure and receiving medical advice to accessing professional healthcare services without consultation fees. The partnership placed community welfare at the centre of PLU’s activities in Nansana.
