Bringing Healthcare Closer to the Community
As the community gathered at Holy Family Catholic Church Utawala during the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, St. Bakhita health centre took the opportunity to extend an important message beyond celebration the importance of health awareness and accessible healthcare within the community.
Located next to the church, St. Bakhita health centre joined the event to engage with families, worshippers, and residents through health education, wellness conversations, and medical support services aimed at encouraging healthier living.
The initiative reflected the health centres continued mission of serving the community not only through treatment, but also through prevention, awareness, and compassionate outreach.
Healthcare Meets Community Engagement
The event created a meaningful opportunity for St. Bakhita health centre to interact directly with members of the community in a familiar and welcoming environment.
During the outreach, attendees had access to:
- General health consultations
- Blood pressure and sugar level checks
- Health education and wellness guidance
- Preventive healthcare awareness
- Patient support and referrals
- One-on-one conversations with healthcare professionals
By participating during the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, the health centre was able to connect healthcare with everyday community life, helping encourage early health awareness and proactive wellness habits.
Strengthening Community Relationships
Community outreach remains an important part of St. Bakhita health centre mission.

The hospital continues to focus on:
- Community-centered healthcare
