My Name is Nagawa Beatrice from Mukono District, Nakisunga sub-county, Kakuba Village. I am a widow. I learned of IAA RVZ services in 2008 from a community based volunteer attached to the clinic. He took me to the clinic and I was enrolled in the HIV program.
In May 2010, I developed cough, severe chest pain, diarrhoea and weakness. My son supported me on his bicycle to the clinic. I was weak, in severe pain, I couldn’t walk, and I was in a confusion state. People in the Village thought that I was not going to come back alive.
The clinic staffs organized for my transport and I was rushed to Hope Ward. I am grateful to Management of IMF, I was treated freely, fed and well taken care of. I thank Management of Royal Van Zanten and clinic staffs for their support. I can now work in my garden and take care of my children.
The environment in Hope Ward brought a smile in my face.
Hope Ward gave me hope to carry on.
The Chairman LC1 had this to say;
I thank IMF, Royal Van Zanten and the clinic staffs for the Good work they are doing in our community. Most of our people are affected with HIV and treatment is very expensive of which they cannot afford. Thank you for helping Nagawa, you gave her hope to continue taking care of her children.
