When the ministry of Health handed over the site on June 10, 2019, it hoped that the construction would be completed by June 2021. However, the project remains at the foundation level and, according to the minister of Health Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, construction has been extended by a further 15 more months.
Aceng told the parliamentary health committee this week that on February 10, 2020, the project owner Eng. George Otim revised the works program and approved an extension of three months because of bad weather conditions in the Lubowa area caused by high rainfall. Another extension of 12 months was sought in addition to the three months due to the effects of COVID-19 lockdown.
