Family Medical Point (FMP), Entebbe-based public health non-governmental organization, has held its quarterly free healthcare initiative dubbed “Musawo Session” at Kigungu Landing Site.
The outreach held on Friday, 8th May 2026, focused on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), with emphasis on family planning, HIV testing, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), post-abortion care, and reproductive health education targeting women and sex workers operating within the fishing community.
According to Nabwire Pauline, the “Musawo Session” refers to “Doctor’s Session.” This brings together health practitioners and community members in an open discussion focused on Sexual and Reproductive Health Services and Rights (SRHR).
She noted that many women, particularly those living in fishing communities, often seek medical attention only after complications have worsened. However, she said the conversations held during the Musawo Sessions help women openly discuss the realities they face and encourage them to take a more proactive approach toward their health and wellbeing. “Many things are happening here and by the time women seek help, some conditions have already escalated and become life-threatening,” Pauline said.
