Multi-location medical storage facilities construction across Eastern Uganda

Project Overview

The Ministry of Health Medical Stores project involves the construction of three critical healthcare storage facilities across Eastern Uganda. This multi-location project aims to decentralize medical supply storage and improve access to essential medicines in remote regions.
