A total of 200 wheelchairs have been donated to children with disabilities in western region.
This donation was from Bethany kids, a compassionate children mission transforming the lives of African children with surgical conditions and disabilities through pediatric surgery.
Dr Felix Oyania, head of pediatric surgery at Mbarara regional referral hospital noted that the wheelchairs will be given to those who have been accessed and then assembled to the beneficiaries.
He noted that this will be a continuous process at Mbarara regional referral hospital.
While launching this program as the chief guest, the Mbarara Resident city commissioner, Lt. Col. James Mwesigye lauded the donation and urged the public to embrace people with disabilities and create a hospitable environment for them.
