Addressing journalists at Bukedea Health centre iv, the District Health officer,Dr Ikodet Stephen said the Health Camp will help reduce patient influx at different health centres in the region and will also grant chance to many who cannot afford basic treatment.
Dr Ikodet revealed that the major conditions include malaria, HIV and the Non Communicable Diseases.

Another Patient,Okaali David Livingstone intimated to us that see a doctor is very hard because of the many patients tat flock the different health centres. ‘’It can take you several days before finally seeing a doctor because they  are few in number and handle so many patients.This camp has bridged that gasp we call upon the Speaker to extend this service more often.''
