Compassion
We approach patients and families with empathy, dignity and respect.
Who we are
About WAPEU
A community-based clinic working to make compassionate healthcare more accessible in Rubaga South.
Our story
A beacon of hope in Rubaga South.
WAPEU Medical Clinic is located in Busega Kabale Zone, South Rubaga, Uganda. Officially opened on 14 January 2024, the clinic was created to offer accessible healthcare to the surrounding community, particularly low-income and vulnerable residents.
The facility provides a broad range of essential medical services and works to ensure that quality care is available to the people who need it most. By combining clinic-based care with mobile outreach, WAPEU aims to address health needs both inside the facility and directly within the community.
Residents of Rubaga South can register for the clinic’s free medical services with UGX 5,000, as stated in the original clinic information.
The clinic’s mobile service uses equipped Grade II ambulances to reach people who may be unable to access the facility in Busega. This approach helps extend care to homes and communities where access remains difficult.
