Everse Kyalisiima, the district female councilor for Kigorobya town council and Kajangi observed that once upgraded the available poor structures like staff quarters among others can be rectified since it will come a big budget.
Dr Lawrence Baluku, the health in-charge said the facility services of population of 53000 people and they register between 1200-1500 mothers coming for antenatal care per month.

He said the facility was fairly staffed with 43 health workers on government payroll but facing limited staff quarters, no Ultra scan, limited drugs and inadequate water.
