Due to the excessive out cry of the community members which was raised in the planning meetings, Center for Community Transformation has included other health services such as Free HI/AIDS counseling and Testing (HCT) and free family planing services especially for women. We have also arranged to have free distribution on condoms to the men.
Cecot Center has been joined by Kasaana Child Development Center ( KCDC) and Uganda Health Marketing Group (UHMG) have volunteered to offer free HCT and family planning services plus sexual reproductive services among adolescents respectively on this day whereas a team of 4 local health workers have offered to come and participate in free malaria testing and diagnosis.
