Panyadoli Health Centre: A lifeline for Ugandans and refugees amidst struggles

Children cry as women, the elderly, and adolescents sit at Panyadoli Health Centre IV, waiting patiently for care.

This government-run facility in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda's Bweyale Town Council, serves as a crucial healthcare hub for both locals and refugees from across Africa.

Despite its limited resources, understaffing, and aging infrastructure, Panyadoli has become a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people.

The health centre’s dedicated staff, who often work without adequate medicines and supplies, attend to an estimated 400 patients daily.

With a catchment population of about 186,000, including 124,000 refugees from South Sudan, Sudan, Kenya, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Burundi, and Eritrea, the centre also serves 62,000 Ugandans.
