On Saturday 3rd February 2018, the Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs Hon Adolf Mwesigye has officiated at the UPDF ground breaking ceremony to build a modern Military Referral hospital for the army. This ceremony is part of the activities as the country commemorates the 37th UPDF Tarehe Sita Anniversary and the first EAC Armed Force day due to take place in Butaleja on 6th February 2018.

In his remarks, the Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs expressed his delight at the occasion pointing out that the military referral hospital will handle complicated, emergency and referred cases from health centres and Military hospitals that would otherwise have required being handled abroad or in private hospitals. And this will go a long way in providing specialized and high quality medical care to the UPDF and their families as well as saving resources on treatment abroad.
