500 pregnant wemen in Maruzi North, Apac district have benefited from free medical services, organized by the Nrm aspirant for Maruzi North Member of Parliament, Bernard Otim Odoc.
The medical camp, held at the parish level across the constituency, saw expectant mothers receiving essential maternal supplies, including mama kits, aimed at improving safe delivery conditions.
Grateful beneficiaries praised the initiative, saying the intervention had come at a critical time.
Many women in the area have previously faced serious challenges during childbirth due to lack of access to mama kits and other basic maternal necessities.
They says mama kits help them during delivery as they used to struggle without them, and this support has come at the right time.
Speaking during the donation, Mr. Bernard Otim Odoc, a lawyer by profession, emphasized his commitment to improving healthcare in the region, saying that a healthy population is key to community development.
In addition to healthcare, Mr. Otim announced a new initiative to offer free legal support, especially on land issues.
He revealed plans to bring legal experts to Maruzi North to provide community training and help resolve land disputes.
The legal support program is expected to launch in October this year.
As the third term of the academic year begins across Uganda this Monday, Mr. Otim—who has a track record of supporting education—also made a passionate appeal to parents in Lango Sub-region to prioritize sending their children back to school.
He expressed concern over the common practice in Lango, where some parents delay sending their children back to school for several days or even weeks after the term begins.
This report comes as part of our ongoing coverage of local leaders making an impact in their communities.
Mr otim is facing stiff competition from the incumbent mp Nelson Lemba Okello, the upc candidate for the 2026 parliamentary election.
