I CAN LEAVE THE ARMY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE.

It is no doubt that the discipline within soldiers is quite admirable but to be able to understand the motivation behind it, you would probably have to speak to one of them. On an early morning when I thought it would be a great opportunity to interact with Col Okuonzi Morris, the commander of Operation Wealth Creation in Adjumani, I set out to his office and therein I found him preparing a progress report.

A COMMITTED PUBLIC SERVANT

Knowledgeable! Ambitious! Hardworking! are arguably the first things that will impress anyone about Dr. Bhoka George, the District Health Officer. I walk into his office and he stands up to usher me in, we exchange pleasantries and sit down almost in unison. His respect for others is quite admirable. It is no doubt that a quick survey had nominated him as a role model figure not just at his department but at the institutional level too.

INSIDE THE SARDINIA - MADI SUB REGION PACT

One year later, the name “Sardinia” has become such a famous one in the Madi Sub Region.

YOUTH DAY IN ADJUMANI 2019

What initially seemed like a low turn up eventually turned into a successful event with resolutions made to do more mobilization next year. The International Youth Day 2019 was commemorated with post district celebrations on August 16th at Paridi Stadium.

The celebration was held under the theme: “Transforming Education” in partnership with the Danish Refugee Council, Lutheran World Federation, Global Aim, OPM, UNHCR, and Red Cross.

ADJUMANI HOSPITAL RECEIVES SPARE PARTS FOR X-RAY MACHINE, YET TO FUNCTION.


After braving up to six years of operating without an x-ray machine, patients in Adjumani hospital on 7th August had a reason to smile after the acquisition of the X-ray bucky stand by Danish refugee council (DRC), a component of the x-ray machine that was missing and had rendered the main x-ray redundant.
Adjumani hospital has three x-ray machines but all were not functioning due to the absence of x-ray bucky stand and poor atomic energy safety requirements of the structure.
