PRIME MINISTER COMMITS TO EXPAND IGANGA HOSPITAL MATERNITY WING BY 2027/28 AFTER MP SEIF’S INTERVENTION

Prime Minister Rt Hon. Robinah Nabbanja has directed the Ministry of Health to prioritise the expansion and rehabilitation of the maternity and Neonatal facilities at Nakavule Hospital, following a strong intervention by Iganga District Woman MP Hon. Mariam Seif.

The commitment came in response to a written question raised by Hon. Seif under Rule 43(3)(a) of the Rules of Procedure of Parliament. The matter was addressed on the floor of Parliament during Prime Minister’s Question Time on Thursday, 6 August 2026. A formal written response was later issued on 10 August 2026.

Hon. Seif had highlighted the severe congestion at the hospital’s maternity and neonatal wings. The facility, which serves Iganga District and neighbouring communities, has been overwhelmed by the rising number of mothers seeking care, with many forced to deliver or recover on the floor due to inadequate space and resources.

In her prayer, the MP called for immediate infrastructure intervention by the Ministry of Health to expand and adequately equip the maternity and neonatal wings, alongside clear timelines for upgrading neighbouring Health Centre IIs and IIIs to reduce pressure on the general hospital.

Responding on the floor, the Prime Minister informed Parliament that government had taken note of the concerns.

A comprehensive assessment of the hospital’s infrastructure needs will be undertaken in the Financial Year 2026/27. *Plans for expansion and rehabilitation of the hospital will then be developed for implementation in FY 2027/28*, with the expansion of the maternity wing identified as the first priority.
