Growing up is more than numbers on a scale or a height chart. Pay attention to your child’s energy, mood, and learning—these little signals can show when a check-up might be needed.

Regular pediatric visits help catch small concerns early, support healthy development, and give you peace of mind as your child grows. Every milestone matters!

Breast cancer is one of the leading cancers affecting women and has claimed the lives of many of our loved ones. Globally, in 2022 alone there were an estimated 2.3 million new breast cancer cases and around 670,000 deaths. More than half of women diagnosed with breast cancer in Uganda are diagnosed at stage III or stage IV, when treatment is more difficult and survival is much lower.

This month, while we honour the lives of those we’ve lost, we also have the opportunity to remind our sisters, wives, and daughters to seek regular screening — breast self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms / diagnostic checks. Early detection could be the difference between life and death. Encourage your loved ones to take this reminder seriously. Book a screening this month. It could save a life — maybe yours.

Access to quality eye care remains a challenge for many children in hard-to-reach areas. Without timely screenings, treatable conditions can silently impact learning, wellbeing, and future opportunities.

That’s why outreaches like our current school eye screening in Kamuli District, made possible through the generous support of our newest partner, Seva Foundation are truly a lifeline.

By bringing care closer to communities, we not only prevent avoidable blindness but also give children the chance to thrive.

Who says prescription glasses can’t be fashionable? The Mengo Hospital Eye Department believes your specs should do more than help you see clearly. They should help you express your style! From classic chic to bold and playful, our wide range of frames lets you express yourself while keeping your eyes healthy.

Whether you need prescription lenses or just want to upgrade your look, we’ve got frames that match every personality and every outfit. After all, your glasses are not just for seeing; they are a statement piece. So why settle for ordinary when you can turn heads and see clearly at the same time?

Come in, try on your perfect pair, and let your eyes and your style shine!

When your doctor starts giving life advice about chapati and red meat, you know it’s time to rethink your plate. We all love our comfort foods, but sometimes what tastes good isn’t always the best for our bodies. Cutting back on red meat and fried foods, balancing your meals, and making small healthy swaps can make a huge difference to your heart, energy, and overall well-being.

It might feel tough at first, but your future self will thank you for the choices you make today. After all, healthy habits now are the building blocks for a longer, stronger life!
