Isingiro District, located adjacent to the border with Tanzania in the southwest, is a new district carved out from Mbarara District in 2005. At the Mbaare Health Centre in the district, there are out-patient and maternity wards, but no general ward. Thus, even gravely ill patients have to sleep in the hallways or in consultation rooms. Sometimes, they are accommodated in maternity wards, with a risk of cross-infection to infants and pregnant women. Through this project, a general ward has been constructed with the medical equipment, solar power systems and water tanks provided to improve the health service environment for the people (some 22,900) in Mbaare Sub-county.
