AMISOM Uganda military contingent offers free medical in Mogadishu
The Ugandan military contingent serving under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) on Sunday held a free medical camp at Medina Hospital in Mogadishu as part of activities to mark the Ugandan Army Week.
Residents suffering from various ailments received free check-up, drugs and medical advice from military doctors who worked together with staff of Medina Hospital to treat the patients who turned out in large numbers.
February 6, also known as ‘Tarehe Sita,’ is celebrated annually as the day President Yoweri Museveni launched the armed struggle, in 1981, that brought the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government to power.
This year’s ‘Tarehe Sita’ theme is; ‘the people and the security forces in a patriotic partnership.’
The day is preceded by a week of activities referred to as the ‘Army Week,’ during which the Ugandan military carries out charity work in communities.
