🌍💙 What an incredible week at the ASOU West Nile Sub-Region Surgical Camp! Over 6,000 patients registered, 2,236 surgeries performed, 13,000+ lab tests done, and hundreds of students reached with screenings and vaccinations. Lives were changed, hope was restored, and communities came together. Grateful to every volunteer, surgeon, nurse, and partner who made this possible. This is the power of care in action. 🙌

Today we remember Christine Russell, our cherished Board member. Since joining Bulamu in 2017, Christine’s leadership helped us grow from a small startup to an organization that now reaches millions of people in Uganda with life-saving healthcare.

“Simplicity is complexity resolved,” she once said—words that reflected her brilliant approach to both professional challenges and life itself.

Christine’s warmth, wisdom, and commitment to our mission have left an enduring impact on Bulamu and the hundreds of thousands of patients we serve. We are forever grateful for her service.

Our deepest condolences go out to her family and loved ones. Her memory will continue to inspire our work.

BIG NEWS! Hope has officially landed—literally.
50 life-saving Midwife Kits from our incredible partners at Direct Relief have arrived in Uganda! Bulamu Healthcare has already delivered these essential kits to 11+ health centers across 6 districts in Eastern and Western Uganda.

Each kit is packed with critical tools—from sterile instruments to sutures and more—and they’re not just supplies. As Dr. Winnie Mutaki, Senior Medical Superintendent at Budaka Health Center IV, explains:

“In the past, we have referred mothers away because they cannot afford sutures, which is so sad, because then, they would also have to spend on transport to the referral, yet they already do not have that money. Now we will have no reason to refer them away due to lack of supplies or equipment.”

These kits are a true lifeline for mothers and babies—bringing us one step closer to a future where no mother or child dies from a preventable cause.

Thank you to our incredible partners, the dedicated health workers, and every hand that helped make this happen. 💛

As Dr. Winnie Mutaki, In-Charge at Budaka Health Center IV, shared:

“Now we will have no reason to refer them away due to lack of supplies or equipment.”

Because no mother should be turned away in her time of need. Visit our website through the link in our bio to learn more!
