On Friday 9th February 2024, Bishop Silvester officiated the blessing and opening of St Spyridon Medical Center in Namutumba town, accompanied by the Vicar General Fr Chrysostom Koolya and some members of the Diocese Health Department. The health-care facility was previously in Nsinze as a small clinic but efforts were made to upgrade and relocate it to a more populous and urban area of Namutumba.
Similarly, the following day, 10th February His Grace blessed and opened a pharmacy in Bugembe town, Jinja City.
We greatly thank our mission associates Orthodox Christian Mission Center – OCMC who financially supported us in establishing the two medical centers.
Speaking to the health workers of the two establishments, Despota urged them to always add prayers to their operations because our Lord and God, is the Physician of our souls and bodies who cures all infirmities of the flesh.
