The health of rural, impoverished Ugandan families has long been threatened by HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB and other tropical diseases as well as by poor nutrition and sanitation habits and a lack of health services. The town of Mpigi, on the heavily traveled road connecting Trinity Children’s Centre and Centenary High School was especially underserved. About 30 miles southwest of Kampala, the town and surrounding villages had little to no medical facilities for childbirth and maternal health, immunizations, preventative health education and emergency medical services.

To address that need, the Serunjogis opened a small medical clinic, Double Cure Medical Centre (DCMC), in Mpigi in 2007, employing only a nurse, a midwife, a visiting doctor, and an administrator. With support from ECHOES and other donors, DCMC has since expanded to include a maternity ward, a small general hospital ward, a basic pharmacy, a dental clinic, health education programs (both onsite and in the surrounding villages), an ambulance, a small chapel, an emergency surgery center, and certification as an HIV/AIDS center.

With the opening of Double Cure Hospital and Nursing School, the medical centre has been repurposed and supports the hosptial and nursing school.
