Residents of Ntinda got more than just a celebration over the weekend—they received essential healthcare services right at their doorstep as C-Care Uganda launched its 30th anniversary with a community-focused outreach.
Held at Capital Shoppers Ntinda, the event shifted the spotlight from corporate milestones to real-life impact, offering hundreds of people free medical services. Attendees accessed screenings for conditions such as malaria, hepatitis, diabetes, HIV, and syphilis, alongside general wellness check-ups—services that are often out of reach for many due to cost or time constraints.
For participants like Fatuma Ntale, the outreach bridged a critical gap. After postponing a medical visit for some time, she was finally able to get checked, underscoring the value of bringing healthcare closer to everyday communities.
While the day carried a festive atmosphere—with music, a flash mob, and a symbolic “Legacy & Future” performance—it also reflected a deeper strategy: positioning healthcare as accessible, preventative, and community-driven rather than confined to hospital walls.
Since its founding in 1996 by Ian Clarke, C-Care Uganda has evolved from a single mission-driven initiative into a major healthcare network, including International Hospital Kampala and several International Medical Centres. Its growth has been further strengthened through its affiliation with the CIEL Group, enabling expanded reach and improved service delivery.
According to Sheila Aboth, the organisation’s Head of Brand and Client Experience, the anniversary is less about looking back and more about reinforcing trust and deepening community ties. She emphasized that public confidence has been central to C-Care’s journey—and will continue to shape its future.
As the anniversary celebrations roll on, the Ntinda activation signals a clear direction: C-Care Uganda is leaning into grassroots engagement, using its milestone not just to celebrate longevity, but to reaffirm its commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible ac
ross the country.
