The Lango

This still applies today... Wan Lango. Wan Otek, we should never forget that

At least 100 people have regained their sight following a week-long eye surgical camp in Lango. The outreach, led by Lira Regional Referral Hospital at Aduku Health Centre IV, attracted over 700 patients, with 200 screened and 100 successfully operated on. Health workers say most cases were cataracts, a leading cause of blindness in the region. In addition, about 500 people received corrective glasses. Officials say bringing services closer to communities is helping restore vision and improve livelihoods, with calls for more such camps across Lango. #UnityfmNews | #UnityAt25

@AyenyAngulo @AbwangAlal95119 @oscarbrianojok Lira City/Lango industrial park and ICT parks make a lot of sense, Lango are a restless people. Our energy needs to be channeled into enterprise and sports away from politics most of the time. @HamsonObua @JaneRuth_Aceng @egolelawrence @PaulOmara19 @mofpedU

@AbwangAlal95119 @oscarbrianojok That's also the unfortunate truth!. However, since about 2021,the delays to have a functional Lira City/Lango industrial park is becoming unacceptable.

Lira City has always been the leading industrial commercial city for Northern Uganda. Imagine if spinning mill was operating, that starch factory now turned into warehouse, Ngetta Ginnery, and the like,..

On World Malaria Day, as the call to end malaria grows louder, a storm gathers in northern Uganda. In Lango, the disease is rising again and families are still losing children. From overcrowded hospital wards to a mother’s fresh grave in Teoryiang village, this is a story of a fight far from over. Watch: The children malaria is taking in Lango youtu.be/Ub6mp43gb9w?si…

KNOW THE POPULATION ESTIMATES OF YOUR CITY 1- Soroti City 135,000 People 2- Fortportal City 138,000 People 3- Hoima City 145,000 People 4- Mbarara City 232,000 People 5- Gulu City 233,000 People 6- Lira City 245,000 People 7- Jinja City. 300,000 People 8- Mbale City 380,000 People 9- Arua City 384,000 People 10- Kampala City 1,800,000 people Therefore, Soroti, Fortportal and Hoima Cities should pull up their socks. We need better numbers for trade and attraction of Manufacturing investments. 😜 What seems to be correct though is that people are more in Cities where there are more opportunities. @DuncanAbigaba @MAGEZIKIRIINJJU @woira_michael

Students at Uganda Technical College Lira are currently participating in a leadership election exercise aimed at choosing new student leaders for the next tenure of office. The electoral process, which is part of routine student governance in UTC Lira, is expected to usher in a new guild leadership that will represent student interests, welfare, and academic concerns.

100 Visually Impaired Patients Regain Sight Following Successful Surgeries by LRRH Team Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH), through its Eye Unit, has successfully conducted a week-long eye surgical camp at Aduku Health Center IV, restoring sight to 100 patients suffering from various eye conditions. The camp, which ran from April 20th to April 24th, 2026, was led by LRRH Senior Ophthalmologist Dr. Shamin Namwase, with support from Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology. Out of 200 patients screened, 100 underwent successful surgeries and are recovering well with significantly improved vision. Speaking at the conclusion of the camp, Dr. Namwase expressed satisfaction with the outcomes: “We are pleased to have successfully conducted 100 surgeries within a single week. Bringing these specialized services closer to the community has enabled many individuals—who would otherwise be unable to travel—to access life-changing treatment.” The outreach recorded an overwhelming turnout of over 700 patients from Kwania and neighboring districts, underscoring the growing demand for accessible eye care services in rural communities. This highlights the urgent need for expanded outreach programs and increased staffing of eye care specialists at Health Center IV facilities across the region. The most common condition treated during the camp was cataract, a leading cause of blindness, particularly among the elderly. Other conditions addressed included glaucoma, eye infections, inflammation, and removal of foreign bodies from the eye. Dr. Namwase noted that despite the success, misconceptions and fears surrounding eye surgery persist among some community members. However, she emphasized that such fears are gradually being dispelled as beneficiaries share positive outcomes. Mr. Isaac Ekwan, Clinical Ophthalmology Officer at LRRH and Eye Care Programs Manager with the Kilimanjaro Centre for Community Ophthalmology, reported favorable post-surgical outcomes. He added that the team also strengthened local capacity by mentoring staff and improving the ophthalmic theatre at Aduku Health Center IV to support future interventions. “Cataract is not just a health issue—it is a socio-economic challenge, as it significantly limits productivity. Restoring sight restores livelihoods,” Mr. Ekwan noted. Dr. Patrick Ogwal, Senior Medical Officer and In-Charge of Aduku Health Center IV, commended the visiting specialists for their dedication and impact. In addition to surgeries, approximately 500 patients received corrective lenses to improve their vision. Beneficiaries of the camp expressed gratitude for the services, noting that restored vision will enable them to resume productive and independent lives. This marks the second successful eye surgical camp conducted at Aduku Health Center IV under the auspices of LRRH, following a similar initiative in 2025. @MinofHealthUG @JaneRuth_Aceng @DianaAtwine @ainbyoo @DrOdur73456
