Nebbi District with a population of about 430,000 is situated in North-western Uganda in the West Nile region and borders with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In 1970s, infrastructure in the region was developed since the then President Idi Amin was from the region. However, as the regime collapsed, many of the infrastructures were destroyed and the people had to flee to neighboring countries. Today, most of the people have returned to their villages. However, social infrastructures including medical and health services remain to be rehabilitated. Goli Health Centre is not the exception, it cannot deal with such urgent medical operations as caesarean deliveries as they only have facilities for minor surgery without blood transfusion. Patients in need of urgent operation have to be referred to the regional referral hospital in Nebbi town or neighboring Gulu town which are not easily accessible. By this project, a medical theatre will be constructed to improve the medical services for over 12,000 patients per a year.
