Paul Palagen, a Community Engagement Officer at Karin Health Facility, highlights the transformative impact that access to hot water has had on maternal care services.

“Previously, we faced significant challenges. Mothers coming in for delivery did not have reliable access to hot water, and even after delivery, it was difficult to provide it within the required time,” he explains.

Through the Results-Based Financing (RBF) programme implemented by Uganda Energy Credit Capitalisation Company (UECCC) with support from The World Bank Group and Government of Uganda, the facility was equipped with a modern water heating system, effectively addressing a critical gap in service delivery.

“But now that the water heater is in place, it is a great benefit to us and to the surrounding community,” he adds.

As a result, the quality of maternal care has significantly improved, with mothers now receiving timely and reliable access to hot water during and after delivery, contributing to safer and more dignified childbirth experiences.
