As part of the bank’s Customer Service Month activities,Housing Finance Bank and C-Care have partnered to extend health care to communities at St. Peter’s Church of Uganda in Katanga and Wandegeya.
The event provided essential health services and wellness advice to the community, attracting more than I,000 participants. The services aimed to promote preventive healthcare by offering screenings, testing and vaccinations in an easily accessible location.
Attendees received free screening and testing for common illnesses, including malaria, HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and prostate-specific antigen. In recognition of World Polio Day on Oct. 24, the camp also provided Polio vaccinations to support ongoing eradication efforts.
Beyond diagnostics, qualified medical professionals offered personalized consultations and counseling on nutrition, physical fitness, and healthy lifestyle practices.
