dfcu Bank and Rotary Uganda have delivered free, lifesaving medical services to more than 1,600 people across Bweyogerere, Mukono, and Ibanda—advancing a nationwide commitment to preventive healthcare.
The latest outreach took place at Kirinya Church of Uganda Primary School in Bweyogerere Division, Namakomo Village in Mukono, and Kikyenkye Health Centre III in Ibanda District.
The initiative is part of a landmark, three-year UGX 1 billion partnership between dfcu Bank and Rotary Uganda aimed at strengthening preventive health services in underserved communities.
This month’s medical camp builds on a series of high-impact 2025 outreaches. In October, dfcu and Rotary held their first major camp at St Paul Church, Okuvu in Mbuya, an event that marked the launch of dfcu Humanity Day.
More than 2,000 people from Mbuya, Kinawataka, Banda, and surrounding areas received free screening and counselling for HIV, malaria, non-communicable diseases, reproductive-health conditions, eye and dental challenges, and sickle-cell awareness.
Early this month, the partners extended services to Kasenyi Landing Site in Wakiso, reaching more than 1,000 residents despite heavy rains.
The camp provided cancer screening, HIV testing, diabetes and blood-pressure checks, immunisation for children, dental services, deworming, and general medical consultations, demonstrating a commitment to supporting high-risk fishing communities with limited access to care.
At the Ibanda camp on Saturday, families received general consultations, dental and optical care, nutrition counselling, mental-health awareness sessions, and screening for sickle-cell anemia, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer.
A blood-donation drive further underscored the preventive and holistic nature of the initiative.

“Today, we have identified and screened for HIV, malaria, eye challenges, and reproductive-health needs. dfcu’s purpose is not only to transform businesses, but to transform lives. The health of our communities is an asset, and we are honoured to support initiatives that enhance it.”
Helena Mayanja, Head of Corporate Affairs & Sustainability at dfcu Bank, highlighted the long-term vision behind the health camps.
“Inclusive development begins with healthy communities. By investing in prevention, early detection, and timely referral, we are building a foundation for long-term wellness, especially in areas where access to healthcare is limited. Our partnership with Rotary Uganda is a sustained commitment to improving lives and ensuring no community is left behind.”
Peace Flavia Lukabya, President of the Rotary Club of Bweyogerere–Namboole, stressed the importance of early screening.
“This camp is more than treatment. We are raising awareness, screening for high-risk conditions, and referring participants who need specialised care. We prioritised sickle-cell and cervical cancer screening because early detection can truly save lives.”
Over the next three years, dfcu and Rotary will extend similar outreaches across multiple districts, ensuring consistent, high-impact healthcare support for communities where dfcu operates.
Through this partnership, dfcu Bank continues to live its purpose: “Transforming Lives and Businesses in Uganda”, by driving sustainable and preventive health outcomes for some of the country’s most vulnerable populations.
