Link To Progress
A Dutch Founded NGO serving the vulnerable communities in the Lango and Acholi sub-region, Northern Uganda.
LTP in partnership with MCC-Netherlands joined hands in the Annual Medical checks for Children medical camp in the communities of Oyam District, Uganda. This year, we used a different approach of camping in five Primary schools of Ogugu, Atop, Loro Army, Amido and Agulurude in whose communities we are implementing projects using the integrated approach with the sixth day spent at Loro Health Center III. Priority was to children as they are considered to be high risk victims according to WHO. In the one week's exercise, over 800 children were reached with various services including health education on dental care, hygiene, nutrition and malaria prevention, general health checks, deworming, treatment while for cases that could not be handled on location, referrals to specialists were made. Follow up of these cases will be done by LTP in coordination with #MCC-Netherlands.
We thank #FEMIFoundation and Medical Checks for Children- Netherlands for their unwavering commitment in improving the general health and well-being of children.
