Mbale District has registered a remarkable achievement after scooping a prestigious national recognition in the Ministry of Health Performance Awards. Under the leadership of Dr. Wangisi Jonathan Massa, the District Health Officer, the Mbale Health Department was ranked 3rd best in the country in overall service delivery coming after Kiruhura and Bundibugyo districts, both of which have smaller populations.
The recognition has sparked admiration among residents, many of whom continue to applaud Dr. Wangisi for his dedication both to public service and his family.
“God is with him. He works tirelessly and we all see it,” said David Mabonga, a resident of Mbale.
When contacted about the award, Dr. Wangisi expressed gratitude to God and commended the entire health department for its teamwork and unwavering commitment.
“This achievement is a result of collective effort. Our team is dedicated to service ensuring medical supplies are available, improving staffing levels and overseeing the construction and maintenance of our health facilities,” Dr. Wangisi said.
He further noted that despite his demanding role, he has always found time to support his wife, Hon. Miriam Mukhaye, the Woman Member of Parliament for Mbale District.
“We belong to Mbale and our priorities have always been health and education. You can only lead people successfully when they are healthy and educated,” he emphasized.
Dr. Wangisi also highlighted ongoing plans aimed at strengthening the district’s healthcare capacity:
“We are focusing our efforts on acquiring Mbale District Hospital at Busiu Health Centre IV and upgrading several Health Centre IIIs to Health Centre IVs to support the district hospital. We have already secured land for expansion and these developments will significantly improve access to quality healthcare,” he noted.
He encouraged residents to continue seeking medical care from government health facilities, including antenatal and other essential services.
Congratulations to Mbale District for this outstanding achievement!
