How a visit works

Four steps. Most of our patients are seen within fifteen to thirty minutes.

  1. ReceptionGive your name and say what you have come for. Hand in your clinic card if you have one from a previous visit.
  2. TriageA health worker checks your temperature and weight and asks a few questions, so that urgent cases are seen first.
  1. ConsultationYou see a clinical officer or a midwife, depending on why you came.
  2. Pharmacy or laboratoryIf you need medicine or a test you go to that window before you leave. Most laboratory results come back the same day.

What to bring

  • Your clinic card from a previous visit
  • The child's immunisation card, for immunisation
  • The antenatal card, for an expectant mother
  • A referral note, if a health worker gave you one
  • Drinking water, in case the queue is long

Plan your visit

We are open from eight in the morning until eleven at night, every day. Mornings are the busiest. Most patients wait between fifteen and thirty minutes, and evenings are usually the quietest time to come.

Tell us how your visit went

Two minutes. Your answers are read as a group and they change what we fix first. Patients told us the waiting area and the turnaround time mattered most, and that is where we started.

Open the feedback form
Before you tap: the form asks about your visit only. Do not enter your name, phone number or anything about your health. Answers go to a Google spreadsheet owned by the project team and are read as a group. Read the privacy page.

Services and hours

Open every day, 8:00am to 11:00pm

We are not an emergency centre

Call 999 or 112

Or go straight to the nearest hospital or Health Centre IV.

Health tips

Simple habits that keep a household well

General information for the whole family. None of this replaces seeing a health worker, and none of it is specific to you or to any condition.

Drink clean water

Boil it or treat it, then store it covered. Most stomach illness in a household starts with the storage container, not the source.

Sleep under a treated net

Everybody in the house, every night, all year. Tuck it under the mattress and repair holes as soon as you see them.

Wash hands with soap

Before cooking, before eating, and after using the toilet. Soap and running water do far more than water alone.

Keep immunisation on schedule

Bring the child's card and come on the scheduled date. If you miss one, come anyway and ask what happens next.

Eat something from each group

A staple, a protein and a vegetable at most meals. Variety across the week matters more than any single meal.

Finish the course

If a health worker gives you a course of medicine, finish it even once you feel better. Stopping early is how resistance builds.

General information only. Always speak to a qualified health worker about your own health, your medicines, or your child's.

Our veranda, where most people wait. Illustration.

While you wait

Most people wait between fifteen and thirty minutes on this veranda. It is a good moment to do the small things on this page: drink some water, check your child's immunisation card, and have your questions ready before you go in.

If you have been waiting a long time and nobody has spoken to you, ask at reception. You are not being a nuisance. Knowing where you are in the queue is part of good care, and our own patient feedback says it is the thing we most need to improve.

Questions we are asked most

Do I need an appointment?
No. Come during opening hours and you will be seen. The request form on this site simply tells us when suits you; it does not book anything.
How long will I wait?
Most of our patients wait between fifteen and thirty minutes. That figure comes from our own patient feedback, not from a guess.
Can I come without a clinic card?
Yes. Reception will open a new one for you. If you have an old card, bring it, because it saves repeating your history.
Are you open at night?
We are open until eleven at night, every day of the week, including weekends.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Children are seen for consultation at any time we are open, and immunisation follows the national schedule.

About us

A health centre that belongs to its neighbourhood

We serve the households around Nansana. Everything we do is built around one idea: nobody should have to guess when to come, what to bring, or what will happen when they get here.

Our poster

Printed and displayed at the clinic, and carrying exactly what this site carries. Tap it to open the full size version.

Bulamu Community Health Center poster listing services, opening hours, telephone number and address.

Know before you visit

The poster carries the same information as this website: the six services, the opening hours of 8:00am to 11:00pm, the telephone number 0394 927 908, and our address at Plot 27 Hoima Road, Nansana.

It also carries a QR code that opens the same feedback form as the button on this site, so a patient with no smartphone data plan can still reach it from the clinic.

What we stand for

  • Be clear before you arrive. Hours, services and what to bring, published where anyone can find them.
  • Explain the wait. If the queue is long you should be told why, and roughly how long.
  • Ask, and act. We collect patient feedback, count it, and change what we do because of it.
  • Never over promise. If we cannot do something here we say so and tell you where to go.

What our patients told us

Sixteen patients completed our feedback form. This is what came back, and what we did about it.

3.81 out of 5

What we are fixing first

Turnaround time and the waiting area came up more than anything else, followed by cleanliness and reception. More seating has been added to the waiting area, and the clinic is publishing its hours and services here so that fewer people arrive at the wrong moment.

Your rights, and your information

What you can expect

  • To be treated with respect, whoever you are.
  • To have things explained in a language you understand.
  • To ask questions, and to say no to anything you are not comfortable with.
  • To be told honestly when we cannot help, and where to go instead.
  • To complain, and to have the complaint written down rather than forgotten.

How we handle your information

Your clinic records stay at the clinic and are seen only by the health workers treating you.

The feedback form is separate. It never asks about your diagnosis, your medicines or your condition, and any personal details a patient chooses to give are removed before the results are looked at. Only counts and averages are ever shown.

Patients cannot see each other's feedback. Only clinic staff see the combined results, and even they see them as totals, never as named responses.

Your visit

What happens when you get here

Written for a first visit, because a first visit is where most of the confusion happens.

Your first visit, step by step

  1. Arrive and go to receptionGive your name and say what you have come for. Reception opens a clinic card for you if you do not have one.
  2. Wait to be called for triageTemperature and weight are taken and a few questions asked. Urgent cases are moved forward.
  3. See the health workerExplain what is wrong in your own words. Ask questions. Ask again if the answer was not clear.
  4. Collect medicine or give a sampleThen keep your clinic card. It is what saves time on the next visit.

How long it usually takes

General consultation15 to 30 minutes
Immunisation20 to 45 minutes
Antenatal check45 to 90 minutes
Laboratory testSame day for most results
Pharmacy onlyUnder 15 minutes

Getting here

We are at Plot 27, Hoima Road, Nansana. Any taxi heading to Nansana passes along Hoima Road. Ask for the stage nearest the trading centre.

There is a step at the entrance and a ramp on the left side of the veranda. If you are bringing someone in a wheelchair, use the ramp and ask at reception for help.

Practical things people ask about

Languages

Our staff speak Luganda and English. If you are more comfortable in another language, bring someone who can interpret for you.

Bringing a child

Children are welcome. Bring the immunisation card, water, and something to keep a small child occupied while you wait.

Coming with someone

You may bring one person in with you. Tell reception if you would prefer to be seen alone, and that will be respected.

This site does not diagnose anything

Nothing here tells you what is wrong with you or what medicine you need. Only a qualified health worker who has examined you can do that.

When to call

During opening hours, 8:00am to 11:00pm. Outside those hours nobody is at the clinic and the phone will not be answered.

For anything urgent, do not call us. Call 999 or 112, or go straight to the nearest hospital.

Feedback

Tell us about your visit

Two minutes. We ask about your experience today, never about your diagnosis, your medicines or your condition.

The feedback form

Seven short questions about the service you used, how long you waited, how clear the information was, how satisfied you were, and one thing we could do better.

Open the feedback form
Before you tap: the form asks about your visit only. Do not enter your name, phone number or anything about your health. Answers go to a Google spreadsheet owned by the project team and are read as a group. Read the privacy page.

The form opens in a new tab. Personal details are optional, and they are removed before the results are analysed.

Request an appointment

Tell us roughly when suits you. We do not ask for your name or your phone number, and we do not ask anything about your health.

Nothing here is stored. This request is a demonstration: it is not sent anywhere, no appointment is confirmed, and we deliberately ask for no name and no phone number. Read the privacy page.

What happens to your answers

They are counted, not filed against you. Other patients never see your feedback. Clinic staff see the combined totals only, so they can work out what most people found difficult and change it. That is the whole point of asking.

Privacy and data protection

What we collect, and what we never collect

Short version: we ask about your visit, not about you. We do not want your name, and we do not want to know anything about your health. This page explains exactly what happens to what you type, and what you can ask us to do about it.

This is a class demonstration. Bulamu Community Health Center is a project clinic created for a Digital Literacy Programme assessment. The practices described here are real for this project, but there is no real clinic behind them.

The short version

What we ask for

  • Which service you used today
  • How long you waited
  • How clear our information was, scored 1 to 5
  • How satisfied you were, scored 1 to 5
  • How you prefer to receive updates
  • Whether you would recommend us
  • One free text thing we could improve

What we never ask for

  • Your name, phone number or national ID
  • Your age, gender or exact village
  • Your diagnosis, condition or symptoms
  • Medicines you were given or treatment received
  • Anything at all by which you could be traced

Because nothing we hold points to an identified person, what we hold is not personal data. That is the whole design, and it is deliberate. Data Protection and Privacy Act, Cap. 97 (Uganda)

Being straight with you about our first form

Our first version of the feedback form did ask for name, age, gender and location, and some people answered. That was a mistake and we corrected it. Those four columns were deleted before any analysis was run, they do not appear in the published workbook, and nothing on the staff dashboard or anywhere on this website was calculated from them. The original responses still sit in the Google account that owns the form, and the team is deleting them. We are telling you this because a privacy notice that quietly claimed we never collected a name would not be true.

Everywhere this site touches data

Four places, and what happens at each.

WhereWhat is collectedWhere it goesHow long
Patient feedback form Seven answers about your visit. No name, no contact, no health detail. A Google Form, into a Google spreadsheet owned by the project team. Google is the processor and their servers are outside Uganda. Kept for the duration of the assessment, then deleted.
Appointment request demonstration Service, day and time of day only. Nowhere. It is not sent, not stored and not transmitted. The page simply shows a message back to you. Not stored at all.
Staff questionnaires Forms A and B are anonymous. Form C is a supervisor review of a named person. Nowhere. All three are demonstrations and store nothing. Not stored at all.
Staff sign in The shared access code and the role you pick. Your own browser only, in session storage. It never reaches us or anybody else. Cleared when you close the browser tab.
This site sets no advertising cookies and no tracking of any kind. There is no analytics, no pixel, no third party script watching you. The only thing stored in your browser is the staff access described above, and only if you are staff and you sign in.

The staff side

What staff can see

Staff see totals and averages only. One patient can never see another patient's answer, and staff cannot open a single response either. The free text comments shown on the staff dashboard name the service used, never the person.

The honest limits

The staff access code is shared and printed on the sign in page, so it is not real security and it protects nothing. The role you choose is self declared. A live clinic would use a real staff account with its own password. We built the separation to show the design, not to claim protection we do not have.

Form C, the supervisor review, is different from everything else on this site: it is about an identified person, so it would be personal data. In a real clinic it would need a lawful basis, a retention limit, and access restricted to the supervisor and the person reviewed. Here the names are numbered placeholders and nothing is stored. Data Protection and Privacy Act, Cap. 97 (Uganda)

Your rights

Under the Data Protection and Privacy Act, Cap. 97, a person whose data is held has rights. For this demonstration they are illustrative, but here is how they would work.

What you can ask for

  • Access. To be told whether we hold anything about you, and to see it.
  • Correction. To have anything wrong put right.
  • Deletion. To have it removed.
  • Objection. To tell us to stop using it.

In practice, because feedback carries no name, we usually cannot find "your" response in order to show or delete it. That is the trade: anonymity protects you, and it also means there is nothing to look up.

How to ask, and how to complain

Speak to reception, or call 0394 927 908 during opening hours and ask for the person responsible for records.

If you are not satisfied, a person in Uganda may complain to the Personal Data Protection Office, which supervises the Act. For this class demonstration, raise it with the Digital Literacy Programme facilitator instead.

If you sent us feedback and now regret it, tell us roughly when you submitted it and what you wrote, and we will delete anything we can identify.

Keeping it safe

What protects the data

  • The site is served over HTTPS, so what you send is encrypted in transit.
  • The spreadsheet sits in a Google account protected by the team's own sign in.
  • Personal columns were removed at source, so they cannot leak from the published files.
  • The published site holds no database at all. There is nothing on it to steal.

What would need to change for a real clinic

  • A named data protection contact, and registration with the Personal Data Protection Office.
  • Real staff accounts with individual passwords, not one shared code.
  • A written retention schedule, and someone whose job it is to apply it.
  • A record of what is held, why, and on what lawful basis.
