Yesterday we were in Atutur to check on the progress of the sickle cell clinic we opened last September. The clinic has registered over 570 patients from the districts of Kumi, Ngora, Bukedea, Soroti, Katakwi. Yesterday there was over 20 patients who had come to the clinic for the first time. We were joined by the Minister for Teso Affairs and also the Woman Member of Parliament for Kumi District Hon. Christine Amongin Aporu. She promised to further the sickle cell cause in her region and see more sickle cell clinics opened up and equipped in every district.
