In a significant move aimed at enhancing health service delivery in the district, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Apac, Mr. Muboki Paul, convened a high-level meeting with the management and staff of Apac General Hospital on 19th June 2025. The engagement was held at the hospital boardroom and brought together key hospital administrators, health workers, and district health officials.

The meeting served as a platform to openly discuss the operational challenges, resource constraints, and performance issues affecting the hospital. In his remarks, the CAO emphasized the district’s commitment to strengthening healthcare systems and ensuring that all citizens have access to quality and timely medical services.

“We are here to listen, to understand the root causes of the service gaps, and to jointly develop practical solutions,” Mr. Muboki stated. He commended the staff for their resilience and dedication, particularly in the face of limited resources and increasing patient load.

Key issues raised during the meeting included staff shortages, promotions, equipment breakdowns, delayed salary payments, staff allowances, and poor staff housing conditions.

We believe it will lead to real change,” Mr. Onuk said.
