A broad range of primary healthcare services to meet the needs of our community
The community of Lukuli and the wider population of over 60,000 people living within 2km of the clinic have a very broad range of health needs, often including diseases and conditions which rarely present themselves in developed countries - malaria, malnutrition, intestinal worms, skins rashes, pneumonia, measles, typhoid, cholera, tuberculosis.

Annet and James are both clinical officers, the highest qualification of medical staff at Hope Clinic Lukuli, and they are assisted by part-time COs to ensure 24-hour consultations are possible. A government facility of similar HC-III ranking as our clinic has no doctor, just one CO with nurses and midwives. Hope Clinic offers registered and enrolled nurses and midwives as well as the CO and the laboratory staff. With help from individuals and small grants from companies and embassies in Kampala we have the equipment to enable these medics to provide the necessary care.

Our patients are very important to us	Prevention advice is provided	After prescribing, we can dispense

The community relies on Hope Clinic Lukuli being open, equipped, with caring staff and able to help them understand their conditions, what they can do now with medication or self-care and how to prevent it worsening or recurring. Medical health and public health information services are both evident at Hope Clinic. Our outreach team meet midwives in the community and go to private shops selling drugs and encourage them to inform their clients about the need for accurate diagnosis and prescription of medication as part of a treatment plan. We have agreed with these other providers to perform the tests on patients they refer but that we will send the patient back to them to buy the drugs or have an attended delivery where it is safe to do so. This referrals network has been successful.

Our drop-in consultations function alongside a weekly programme of Monday child immunisations, Tuesday ante-natal booking-in clinic, Wednesday family planning discussions, Thursday for second and subsequent ANC checks and Friday is the HIV case review day. This many services requires us to have over 20 staff employed at the clinic.
