INTRODUCTION TO THE HOSPITAL INITIATIVE.

INTRODUCTION

Dear MMC member,                                    24th November 2020

REF. MMC HOSPITAL.
Hope this finds you in good state.
A few months ago, the world was hit by a grave pandemic that has not only claimed people’s lives, but also affected the economic and social setup of societies to the marrow. Sundry people have been and will continue being affected by this pandemic for ages to come.
I realized that during the pandemic, we as MMC were equally affected and tried to fumble here and there to wade through the pandemic days. Some members were benevolent, but this will never be everlasting. Many of us are still employed and basically earn peanuts, not enough to sustain us and our families, not to mention anything to pass on to our posterity.

I have seen people start from small to great heights, with sacrifice, encouragement and urge to get better. We all yarn to be better in life, and to make sure our children have a better future. All of us are soon retiring, however, it is ever sweeter to retire with a steady flow of income, knowing that by the end of the month or year, one is earning from the little he or she started with.

Our common gene is MMC. We share a lot, and the bond we have created has made us family. It is this common gene that can bring us together to start small and become big, leave a legacy, and make our children and grandchildren proud.

The MMC forum houses 233 residents. I am certain that all of us at least earn something, however, it is equally a big lot that might not be in position to achieve their dreams in life.

The baganda say, ‘’agali awamu gegaluma enyama’’, meaning, simply, ‘’together we can’’. As a group, we are seated on wealth but deliberately refusing to become rich. We have sharp brains but are in bondage because we are failing to think outside the box.

But what if we give monetary value to our chats, let us imagine 233 members contributed 1000 a day, we call it ‘’MMC KAMEEZA’’
·       233 by 1000 equals 233,000 shs a day. I am certain very few of us earn and save that much a day.
That is to say, 233,000 by ‘let us round of to 30 days a month’
·       233,000 multiply by 30 days = 6,990,000 shs a month. How many of us can save that a month?
That is to say, 6,990,000 million shs by 12 months.
·       6,990,000 multiply by 12 = 83,880,000 million shs.
If I may ask, how many of us can save 50 million a year, free money on your account without thinking of deducting school, fees, paying hospital bills and catering for other family stuff etc?
But again there is this. As we save our kameeza money, at the end of the month we can transfer it to a UAP Umbrella Trust fund. This fund gives interest each end of month. The interest is accumulative. This is better than keeping the money in a bank because banks deduct money each end of month. This means by end of year, we can even have 100 million shillings plus.

With our education and brains, why not think big, beyond our conversations. All of us have been affected health wise, our spouses or children. We have come to help out each other during such times. The amount of money we spend on health is exorbitant, but the issue of health is part of our life.
Why not think of a hospital where we and our spouses and children can have health benefits? During the covid 19 times, it is only the health facilities that were deemed essential. Schools, bars, hotels etc, were closed and some still closed. Never has a hospital been out of patients. Some of us have members of our families that have to be on medical prescriptions for life. Some of us have fallen sick and have felt ashamed to say it out yet we are greatly affected by the medical bills. What if we plan on building a hospital where all members of MMC, their spouses and children can have medical bills 90 percent covered by the hospital, just for being an MMC or a product of an MMC member, whose education and life-lessons were attained from that factory. Why not leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren to be proud of? A legacy that will always drip monies into the coffers of the beneficiaries for life. A legacy that cannot be sold by our posterity because it can be well protected. Something for which we will be talked about when we leave this world. Prove the world that even with education attained at a coffee factory under the name of Nkozi NTC that is no more, something substantial stands MMC HOSPITAL. Let us bind our MMC history into an everlasting mark because time will come when we can no longer chat like we do now.

Apart from that, a hospital comes with other subsidiary economic activities. We have investment clubs that can tender for a hospital supermarket, laundry and cleaning services.
Our forum has human resource that can be so helpful. We have people who can solicit for donations. In many developed countries, organizations will willingly donate to health facilities. We have people in positions that can help get us affiliated to big health organizations and institutions. If individuals can start simple clinics, why not us?

Am looking at a time when all the faces posted on our MMC forum are hung on the reception wall of MMC HOSPITAL. People make names that last long, for example, writers, musicians, actors etc. Names that stay even after their deaths. Where and how will your name always be remembered? Let us make a name that can make our posterity proud of us and stand in society and say, ‘’My father/mother is among the people who started that great hospital, that is him/her picture among the founder members’’ What can we be remembered for? Let us not fade way just like an echo, let us not let our epitaph read ‘’He/she was born, lived and died’’. Even in our graves, we shall be ashamed of having had such good brains and ideas but failed to put them into use. Let us make the wording of our epitaph be written on the hearts of our children, grandchildren and the society at large, not on our tombstones to be forgotten there.

For those of us who watch local news, media is covered with these categories of people with health issues.
1                  Those who are sick but have failed to get money to go to hospital.
2                  Those who have been to hospital but have failed to complete the payment of hospital bills.
3                  Those who have been to hospital and diagnosed, given prescription medications but cannot afford to buy the medication.
4                  Those who are on daily mandatory medication that is expensive.

MMC HOSPITAL INITIATIVE

A PATIENT ADMITTED IN HOSPITAL.

WHY SHOULD WE WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE CAN DO SOMETHING TO SUFFOCATE IT NOW?

Let us think big. We can make it with just 1000 shs a day. 1000 shs a day can create a legacy for us, it can create value to our name even after death, it can change the lives of many, most importantly our posterity. I know we have investment clubs, but I am so sure this 1000 shs a day cannot affect them.

I am looking at MMC HOSPITAL with Ichuli Ward, Asaba Maternity Ward, Nakityo VIP Loby, Father Kasule Ward, Kasha Wing, Nantege Fertility Center, Nanteza Blood Transfusion Dept, Namusoke General Ward, Kizito Causality Ward, Bbuka Children’s Center, ES Kiwanuka Men’s Ward, Kibazo Sperm Donation Dept. etc.

We can have a bank account on which to deposit our 1000 shs. Some might even decide to deposit weekly. We can have MTN and Airtel lines for strictly depositing daily MMC KAMEEZA. The passwords of these lines will be shared among a minimum of three members. Money on these lines will be deposited to our bank account monthly. Like society is, I know some might not see it worth, but that is expected, though I am sure all of us here have at one time been hit hard financially, especially as regards meeting health bills. Many of us lack health insurance with insurance companies because we cannot pay the required mandatory monthly premium. But look at this, you are paying a daily premium of only 1000 shs a day, a premium that will bring in income and help you and your offspring get medical treatment for life. I will give an example of how Ubuntu has helped out members here and there, but this is just a small fraction of this lot. The Ubuntu aim is muno mu kabbi. But as a whole, MMC, we can have something big for our future and posterity.

We surely have people we can trust financially who can open an account as we start Jan 2021, then after all documentation etc, the money is put on the MMC HOSPITAL ACCOUNT.

LET US THINK BIG. TETULI BAAVU, EMITWE GYAFE GYEMYAVU.
